pack basket
« on: Nov 15, 2009, 08:45 AM »
Was thinking about buying a pack basket. Have done some reserch online,seems the average $$ is around 100 of these. Did'nt really want to spend that so can anyone tell me where I can find one cheaper? I'd be happy with a good used one, but needs to be a minimum 20". Thanks

that's the best way, when my family asks me what i want for xmas, my list is always fishing stuff. with all of the stores out there it's easy to make a list out of the mags from their mail order sheets and all the info is there. you fill out the order and they pick what they want to spend.

have a basket myself, after several years i've had to strengthen the bottom with some cable ties. now with my jetsled i just use sheet rock buckets for just about everthing i pull onto the ice.

Try Basketville, I got mine there around 10-12 yrs ago.  Un-finished it cost me $40.  Paint it with deck stain and you're all set.

I'm leaning towards llbean right now. Think I have to choose between a jet sled or a basket right now. What to do, what to do :wacko: :wacko:
