customized the sled

[fishintechnician]

i know this should prolly gop in the sled forum but no ones veiwing that yet and thought you guys would appriciate this. So I spent the day yesterday hooking my sled up. Mainly for convinience and comfort. I like it and am ready to test it out.....actually on the ice not just in my garage. Here are a few pics. I also went through all the gear and got everything Staged if you will ready for first ice

Very nice. I like how organized everything is. I'm kinda OCD about all my gear and where it is at so I can definitely appreciate how you have yo sled st up.

That is awsome setup for your ice sled! 

[MDBuckeye]

That is awesome!
The only thing I would be worried about is the sled tipping for some reason and everything spilling out.  I guess that's the same with everything just thrown into my sled right now...

Very cool.

Great Job,

I fixed the pictures. We will keep it hear and then move it after a while to the sled board for us to refer to in the future.

What is the pole across the top?

I hope Fishingislife see's this as he picked up  a sled from me.

This makes me want to go and put mine together.

Lets see some more of these guy's!

Great post!

the pole on top is my spud bar another of my creations  . This actually looks very heavy but im guesseing that it only added around 20 lbs... I used 3/8 plywood for the top and 3/4 fro the frame. I didnt bolt anything to the sled but made it a very tight fit it can be easily removed if i am so inclined, the front half were the sled slopes out is all hollow on the bottom the hole that the vex sits on is actually access to storage underneath it. Im going to get a couple bungees throught the uprights to secure the auger and spud.

Great post!

Dave, I got some serious plans with your old sled...   I got all the materials and I got a day set aside to pimp out your old sled.

I'm jealous.  I wish my sled was so organized.  I'm anal about my lures being just so, and my rods rigged and organized so I don't have to change lures that much, but that's it.  My other gear just rattles around in my shanty's sled bottom.  This gives me some ideas!
