So does the Fin. They have a good selection too. Dicks in North Canton has them too, saw them yesterday, and they were on sale.

Do yourself a favor and spend the cash on a tub style ice sled. Tried that kids sled stuff and you'll spend more time picking up stuff than what it's worth. A tub style is alot heavier duty, lasting alot longer. You can get a small jetsled for around 60.00, medium size is around 90, larger ones are 125.00, magnums are 175.00. I use mine deer season also to haul deer ahen needed. Put a set of ski's on the bottom so they don't wear out very fast too. Mike

I took a kid sled put a frame made out of furring strips on it. Set a cooler(camera goes in) cushion bucket etc. Put some pvc to hold rods everything gets bungied into place. Works good and it was fun to build with my boy. We had everything laying around. Boy sits on the cooler with a boat cushion. I sit on the bucket with a boat cushion. I don't pull my boy though (He is 6' 175lb now) he would like me to pull him Ha. We have decided that some of the best fun with ice fishing is making stuff out of junk that works. Do not need to spend alot. Worst thing I did was buy under water camera. Works good but always messing around with it and sometimes don't get the fishing done. In all good times.

I used a kids sled that I modified for my gear. It works great and didn't break the bank. I posted pics under sled help.

I've got a Shappell Jet Sled and my buddy has the otter Sled. Both really good quality. We fit all our gear in them and they still pull easy.

wis2ohio, I had a Shappell Jet Sled Jr., but sold it to my brother so that I could upgrade to the standard Jet Sled 1...which is a little larger. About $25 for the Jr. and about $35 for the standard, at MC Sports. The Jr. is 43" x 21" and the JS 1 is 54" x 25" and both have about an 8" depth with a ribbed bottom. These sleds are tough as nails.

i went to lowes a few years ago & bought a mixing tray for under $15.oo. it's 2ft. by 3f. & carries everything i need. if you go light, there might be room to pull a child in it.

I stopped out at a&c a couple days ago and he had 2 nice sleds for sale. I think he was running a sale as well. If you need a sled of a different size let him know and he will get it for you. He will get you whatever you want for a good price and he almost always beats any of the big box stores.
