Quick take
A plastic runner kit designed to install on the bottom of Clam ice fishing shelter sleds, reducing drag and wear.
This CLAM runner kit, model 8997, bolts to the bottom of a Clam fish trap sled. It includes five plastic runners made for the Kenai, Denali, Kodiak, Warrior, X1, Scout XL and Legend XL tubs. The runners cut drag on the ice and keep the sled base from scraping as you haul your shelter and gear to the next spot.
Best for
- Protecting Clam fish trap shelters from rough ice and pavement
- Hauling heavy shelters and gear by hand, ATV or snowmobile
- Ice anglers who move shelters frequently between locations
Skip if
- Your shelter uses a different brand's sled system
- You keep your shelter in one location all season
Strengths
- Plastic runners slide smoothly across ice, snow and pavement with minimal friction
- Easy installation without tools or modifications to the shelter
- Reduces wear on the shelter sled, extending its working life
Trade-offs
- Runners wear over time and require periodic replacement
- Limited to Clam-brand shelters and compatible models
- Does not solve traction issues in icy conditions; smooth running may require pushing
