What size sled is that otter sport

I made flooring out of the silver insulation and invert carpet lol, stuff laying around the drilling rig lol

The best way to spool up a reel is to fill your sink with luke warm water throw spool and reel on reel done

I like your rod holder design. The offset notches are a great idea. Do you have a video on what you use for rod holder while fishing in a flip over ice house?

That is the slickest Smitty sled build I’ve seen! Absolutely innovative! Nice work!

I’ve been building my own custom Jet Sled Jr. for ice fishing and ordered 2 of your rod holders and the bucket holder. I’ll be filming a video putting the sled together and will be letting people know where I got the holders from as well. Looking forward to adding them to my sled and seeing how they perform. Not sure why I never customized my sleds sooner, never even crossed my mind I could slap all sorts of gadgets to them to save on space. Next year it may be a Smitty Sled with a cargo rack. For now it’ll be sled runners , 2 of your rod holders, the bucket holder, a spud bar holder, and an auger holder . Big project but it’s fun! I could’ve used PVC and made my own holders, but I liked the design features and look of your custom rod holders! And the bucket holder opens up so much sled space! Good luck fishing! 🎣

Great minds…cut an old yoga mat in half the bride ‘loaned’ me, and connected to the front foot area of my Eskimo quick flip. Keeps feet insulated & Rolls up nice and secures with a small bungee just below the seat (same color too Bob) thanks for affirming to her I wasn’t completely losing my mind! 😊

Best video 📽 thanks 🐟🐟🎣🎣👍

I am totally building one of these, and I am also scheming a XL version of this since I always am the one with the gear for too many anglers, if I pull it off I will send you the build. Awesome work!

I'm intrigued by this but my rod holders are already permanently mount to the back of my sled. Would you be able to print one with more clearance?

Create one for auger holder too :)

you would be the best neighbor!

That is awesome and well thought out. The last scene was worth the wait!

As promised, the FishingDuo Bump Board Holder is now available! Check it out at fishingduostore.com or click the link in the description!

Good video! Thanks.

Nice job on the paint. I also like the idea of composite decking material used as the transom mount for an outboard motor (no rot with composite) Could you also use those composite planks as the thwarts tops so your backside isn't getting fried or chilled by sitting on ali thwarts/seats? Might even use the composite decking as planks to enclose the under thwart areas after you stack them with cut to shape polystyrene blocks...which will make the craft unsinkable... it will stay upright and even totally full of water...it won't sink.

I just have the black bucket with a string on it and I'm 65 ,I don't have no problem pulling it around. He's making the thing way bigger i can't imagine dragging what's that monster out of my truck

Excuse me but $53.00 per gal is not cheap.

Finally, a DIY project I can do with scraps lying around!

Ya i bought the Eskimo fat head with a 3 inch thermal floor 8 years ago still looks and works like brand new game changer as long as people take boots off lol

Awesome bro ,I've just finished fixing my 7.5 evinrude motor never done a boat motor before but with power of youtube I completed it and now my next move on to paint my aluminum dinghy thanks for the tips appreciate you

This is genius, cant wait for the plans

Feeding them little bolts through that pvc must’ve been hard but it looks absolutely amazing I’m definitely gonna steal your idea thanks brother

I find foam knee pads are very convenient , less expensive , user friendly and effective

Great tutorial. The end result is only as good as the canvas. Some may say you are putting lipstick on a pig.

Love the creativity, great directions and instruction. How about 4 smaller skis and swivel front?

Can anyone tell me that you need a registration certificate for such a gadget? in the state of wisconsin

After years of guiding out of hub houses I have 1 very strong opinion. In a hub I find it extremely useful to make my floors( I use rubber roofing) bigger than the skirt on the house. No matter how hard it's frozen in I can lift up a corner of the rubber and peel it out without damage to the house. Only savages fish without a floor

Cool video I’m building one tomorrow

Genius design!

Realy great sled👍

Nice vid

Nice. So how do you go down hill without it running into the back of your legs ? An all terrain Smitty Sled might be considered.

if you have an aldi's they sell those floor mats for 12$ for a 4pack

I bought a snap on mechanics pad for $40 it’s about 4’ long and a 1.5’ wide. It works great for late ice sight fishing I can lay down on it. It’s also very light weight.

I would have mounted the supports from the top in the same location where the bindings were, using the screws that held the bindings on. That part of the ski is meant to hold screws and you wouldn't damage the base.

I use one of those 1" thick s×immigrants mats for my floor. Was like 225dollars to buy but warm and dry floor that's 1 pc is hard to beat.

That’s a pretty cool set up but I’m betting you live very close to a body of water. Might not be entirely practical for anyone having to travel a distance to a good fishing spot.

How are these in deep snow ?

Cool project but $35 for bucket mount is too expensive

I agree with most everything you have demonstrated….. however a couple of points. 1. Tying your sled to the frame….. myself I have used wood from a hardwood pallet cut into strips which would fit into the plastic channels of the sled spreading the work load the length of the channel instead of just the plastic around your bolts are holding! 2. I like how you put the toll rope through the front of the ski, but then I would go up into where the rope goes through the front of the sled and then all the way through the sled to the backside of the sled and tie the knot behind the sled that way all load/weight is being pulled from the back of the sled and not the front of the sled. Great build though! Really enjoyed it!best sled I ever built though was built from the schedule 40 3” plumbing drain pipes!

Great video! Now I just need to find a pair of skis.

It's beautiful! Impressive

This is smart! What’s the dry weight of the sled?

I would put notches in the rod holders so the reel handle fits down in PVC snuggly

Nice! Well done video! Looking forward to that bump board bracket. I’ll want one for ice and one for the boat!

Love the look of this, Ive been looking for a solution to bringing a sled thats actually good, in the car with all my other gear and another person. This just might be my solution! Thanks so much for an easy to follow and informative video.

Just a thought, but instead of a collapsible crate, I was thinking of attaching nylon webbing with 4 buckle ends to the platform and the other 4 ends to an otter sled. easy, repeatable attachment and secure. over engineered on my end?

Love what you are doing, just amazing! Love the facial expressions the end😂

Great, now I have a new project. Thank man! 😂
