Ice Fishing Sled

[Rozman]

This summer I bought a suitcase style shanty from a guy who used to make them out of his shop. I am new to ice fishing and was wondering if I could get some ideas on what kind of sled to use to walk/pull my gear around the lakes. I have an old toboggan at my parents house, but am not sure how effective that would be. Thanks for any info.

I suggest that you get an Otter sled that will hold your house plus any other gear that you bring with.

Great sleds that are really tough!

I second the Otter sled. They also work very well for things other than ice fishing. I also use mine for yardwork around the house. I've dragged dirt, pots, leaves, branches, you name it. I drag it across my driveway with no hyfax and there is hardly any wear.

You can even use it to drag your deer a ways.

Otter makes a nice sled.

Go Otter. If not then make a ski platform with a box that your house and gear will fit in. Sides need to be about 30" high to 36" high. It will be heavier than a Otter though and probably wont pull as nice . Get the hyfax.

I have the same style portable, Mankato Tent and Awning suit case, the otter sleds were awkward as the shack was to large to not slide off...I made a sled from a pair of old wooden water skis and this allows me to hump over the most rugged of entry points with the shack and gear strapped to the sled. If needed I tow my otter behind with more gear..just a thought..good luck

I vote for the Otter as well. Do some research and find out which Otter house goes on which sled. That way if you ever want to buy and Otter House you will already own the sled.
