How to build a Sled for your Ice Fishing Hub - "Jack Pine Island" - Part 1

In this video, I start the build of my "Jack Pine Island" - Ice Hub Sled. It has featured of a smitty sled but is designed so that you're able to relocate your ice hub without taking it down every time.

I bought the threaded rod, nuts and washers from my local metal shop, but bought the tee nuts (2x4s and OSB) from Home Depot (Tee Nut link below)

I created this sled so that I would be able to move around quick and efficiently. I am able to keep all my gear set up inside my hub and all I have to do is step outside, grab the tow rope and get pulling!

This design also allows me to easily take store, transport and take apart with no trouble at all!

This sled is a perfect way to trick your hub, whether it be an eskimo, clam, otter, etc.

Ice Fishing Adventures are guaranteed with this Jack Pine Island on the Hard Water.

I chose the name "Jack Pine Island" for a couple of reasons. One being that it is named after this YouTube Channel "Jack Pine Sophisticate" and two, Jack Pine Trees are often used to produce construction materials such as 2x4s and OBS (what is used to build this sled;)
