Default Making Fishing Sled Bottom Slippery
Just wondering what guys do to their ice fishing sleds to make it more slippery so it's easier to pull across the snow? Do they add wax to the bottom or some kinda spray, and if so what kind? Thanks in advance.

Default Nanowax
Liquid spray car wax, I use Eagle 1 Nanowax. Just spray it on and buff lightly with a rag. I also use it on my quad snow plow so the snow wont stick.
