Dragging sleds significantly increase the practical capabilities of snowmobiles and motorized dogs for transporting goods. In winter conditions, this is the best solution for fishermen and hunters, and also allows residents of remote villages to solve various problems.
The rating includes drag sleds that can serve as a trailer for motorized towing vehicles or snowmobiles. The best models were selected based on characteristics such as load capacity, reliability of fastenings, and strength. The selection also took into account customer preferences and the cost of the sled.
How to do it yourself?
You can make a fishing model with your own hands. The easiest ones to make are metal ones .
They can be made collapsible. The metal structure consists of a solid base and a platform made of boards or plywood. All accessories will be transported on it. Runners must be attached to the sled .
In order to make a fishing sled with your own hands, you will need an aluminum sheet 3-4 mm thick.
The contours of the reamer are drawn on it and the workpiece is cut out. The finished development is bent using a bending machine at a certain angle. Drill through holes. Make the bottom in the same way as the side walls.
Now it's the runners' turn. Take a channel made of aluminum and magnesium alloy of the required length. Mark a fold line and an angle on it, which will serve as the place where the runners bend. They cut right through, then bend the profile.
Assembly
Collect as follows:
- Drill through holes
- Fasten parts of future sleds using rivets
- Clamp the bolts with nuts
- Homemade sleigh is ready
Other types of sleds
In addition to drags, there are other types of fishing sleds that are used by “penguins”. Among them the most famous are:
- Finnish;
- inflatable;
- on skids.
Each option has the right to life, its pros and cons, design features.
Inflatable
Inflatable sleds for winter fishing are made of rubber and PVC. Products made from polyvinyl chloride are more reliable and durable. However, this option has its drawbacks:
- the need to inflate the sled before fishing;
- can be easily damaged by contact with hummocks or gear and sharp elements of equipment;
- it is necessary to additionally secure the equipment so that it does not fly off when moving on uneven ice or snowdrifts;
- an insufficiently loaded sled can easily be blown away or overturned by a strong gust of wind.
The main advantage of an inflatable sled is its compactness during transportation and storage. They take up almost no space and are light in weight.
On skids
Fishing sleds on runners are the oldest model used by winter fishing enthusiasts. Any children's, metal, wooden ones are suitable for going out on the ice. Most importantly, they allow you to transport equipment, tackle and gear, making it easier to move from one promising place to another.
The disadvantage of sleds on runners is their weight compared to plastic drags. Also, not every model is strong and durable. They are not comfortable when moving on uneven ice, but they do a good job on snow cover.
