    Anyone here know of anyone who’s currently making a molded ice fishing shuttle like the old Yellow one made by Fraibil many years ago. I believe after they stopped making the yellow one with a black seat they started making one called the Frabil Recon. I do most of my fishing by foot and without my ice house. It would be nice to have something to haul the limited amount of gear I bring without needing to hand carry it. What I’d like it to hold is the following:

    Kdrill with drill attached
    Flasher
    Rods ( prefer in otter case ) – Or tube system attached to shuttle
    5 Gallon bucket
    Extra space for Misc. Ice creepers, Bait, Tackle, Munchies, Ect.

    I know I most likely will need to hand make one, But a plastic molded one would be much lighter. If anyone has built one of their own a few pictures of it may be helpful to get me started in the right direction

    If anyone here has or knows someone who has one of the old Yellow Frabil ones they want to sell , Let me know.

    Craig – That’s nice. I did not even know about the Glide lite. It looks like it is still even available. Nice Mods. Could I get a little closer look at the Rod bracket you made for yours. I’d think a Bracket to hold the Krill would be easy to come up with. Do you think adding a pair of Skies to the bottom would make it more stable? and possibly raise it up a little?

    I’ll try to get some better pics later. It can get a little top heavy if the snow is deep and rutted. I usually just use it first and last ice. Skis would probably help, but I bought this when I had an suv and didn’t want to keep taking car seats out to fold seats down
