Trick Your Trap! CUSTOM Ice Shack (Fish Trap) Modifications Part 2. Platform and Storage Upgrades!

[@RoshamboOutdoors]

This is so dope lol I can imagine ur not able to pull this by hand ?

[@pjsmall]

Seems heavy for wet slushy long hauls. Looks great though.

[@09ironman1]

Where did you get your carpet from looks nice

[@zachschnell7431]

Did you just use some sort of black strap to make the door pulls or do they make something specific? Thanks

[@nathanmciver6496]

Where did you buy that carpet? Its tough to find that colour of grey

[@patayles6772]

How did you attach the plastic trays? Are the lip of the trays just sitting on top of the plywood?

[@NB22222]

I would imagine painting the outside of the clear tubs white(or another bright color) before installing them would've been really nice to help see items inside

[@andrewkinley7096]

Where did you purchase the carpet for the top? I want to do something similar but am having trouble finding where to get a small piece of carpet like this.

[@JLewisFishing]

This was actually boat carpet. We re-carpeted a boat and had this left over. Not terribly helpful, sorry, but maybe that can help you find some scrap pieces.

[@JLewisFishing]

Part 2 of the build. Getting the carpet and platform installed. Just got to finish the electrical!

[@brendannaimy6597]

I’m trying to decide if I should do something similar but I am constantly changing my setup around, adding and switching things out.

[@JLewisFishing]

Kind of the same, though I think this layout will work rather well for me for most applications.

[@69jbr69]

Nice setup. I would like to see what total weight ends up being with all the gear. I accumulated gear and upgraded shacks like most ice fisherman over a couple decades but have gone back to bare bones light weight setup again.

[@JLewisFishing]

Its going to be heavy for sure. I have a Kenai Pro Thermal that is bare for early ice.

[@69jbr69]

@@JLewisFishing Nice. Ice fishing is a healthy addiction. I am up to 6 shacks currently so figure I mine as well get one more so I have one for every day of the week. I would recommend adding a hub to your arsenal for a light weight rooming option.

[@nelliehutchinson953]

@@JLewisFishing any thoughts on without the gear how much more weight this added to th shell. with removing the sliding bars is it close to the same. i got the same shack last year based on your review and sitting in them all.

[@MrSrtman18]

What control panel is it and where can I get one?

[@JLewisFishing]

Amazon. Search "Gang Rocker Switch" tons of options and colors!

[@jamesswanson4391]

What about the ice machine for cold drinks??? Awesome build

[@justinsimpson6650]

Got links to the storage bins etc you used in this build? Thanks!

[@robschmieg6211]

How much weight do you think was added in this mod?

[@JLewisFishing]

Honestly not too much. The weight of the plywood is the most. Maybe 30-40lbs total? I rarely pull it by hand though, so it wasn't a big issue for me.

[@carterlarson9814]

Nice setup- earned my like

[@lukekezeske2330]

What are the trays called???? Where did you get them from???

[@JLewisFishing]

Just acrylic trays. We have a store called The Container Store. Found them there while the wife was shopping.

[@stillwater7929]

Excellent Upgrades......Super psyched about taking a seat off for more space...Would you box in the bigger compartments to keep things organized?....So much space down below deck.....

[@JLewisFishing]

I plan to section them out, most likely just running some light plywood down to the bottom of the sled, nothing overly awesome.

[@noiwcm]

Where do you plan on transporting your rods?

[@JLewisFishing]

I actually carry all of my rods in my truck, I'm kind of paranoid with them.

[@camoblazer1740]

Hey, if you don’t mind me asking what color of carpet is that. I got the same shack and want to do something similar but don’t want to order the wrong color, thanks!! Looks awesome 😎

[@DEADWINTER]

Cool set up! Can't wait for first ice... This morning the whole lake was covered so it should be soon!

[@richardhookedoutdoors2024]

I was wondering where you were I did enjoy that first video you made, sleeping in the ice shack....

[@stevewiedenheft9477]

Looking good. Those mods are similar to what I want to do to mine. Thanks for the video.

[@michaelprevost1229]

Nice job it looks great.How much is it going to weigh..?

[@JLewisFishing]

A lot...probably 150 without gear. Need to get it weighed.

[@ScottKingDesigns]

Looking AWESOME!!! Cant wait to see it in action! I hoping to get out more this ice season!!
