    I have this smitty sled I built some years ago just sitting in the garage. It breaks down into 6 pieces without tools, is built on wide downhill skis and has a long paracord pull rope with a 2x2 bar. I've pulled gear for several guys on it, plus a cheeky passenger who jumped aboard, by just leaning into the bar and walking. It would skim over a ditch while I plowed through chest deep. That said, I've put too much time into my snowmobile to not use it, so this hasn't gotten any use in a long while.

    I would happily take a Canadian Wiggler (hopefully in chrome) in trade for it!

    I have a Kamooki. Would you trade for that?

    Was working on cleaning up earlier and took some more photos of it. You can see how each of the 4 corners are fastened with large eye bolts acting as pins and the smaller eye bolts provide tiedown points. I built it with a little toe out to help it track straight.

    I sure wish I had some Chrome Wrigglers, alas I don't. Thanks for pictures I got some free skis and now have an idea on how to build one.

    I have one built if you want. Asking 25.00 to cover lumber costs. Built with water skis for better stability.

    The garage must be cleaned - forget the lure and take this sled!
