Anyone have any thoughts on this flip over? I'm picking one up tonight.

I just got one, I have fished in it 3 or 4 times. I like it. The seat is a little to high for me. I need to modify it . I bought Farbill the light bar. You don't even need a laturn at night. It is very roomy. I think you will like it.

I have a Commando, very roomy and lots of room in the sled for stuff. Can't believe they are that much cheaper now...got mine at GM couple years ago for $300

You will love . And that is a real good deal for that price I also gave 300. for mine I also ordered the rod holders from frabill for it and they are not much but work great

Bass Pro has one more left it's the floor model, saves you from having to assemble it. Might even be able to get them to knock a couple extra bucks off for it being the floor model.

Bought a Commando from GM on Thanksgiving for $289. Also received $20 per $100 spent in GanderBucks that day. My first Shanty and I love it. I can remove the seat and it fits under the cap on my truck easily. Nice size sled. I can load it with gear and tip the front of the sled almost (about 80 degrees) and get the front on the cab of the truck. I can grab the shelter by the metal bar where the seat goes and pull the sled into the truck very easily. I was concerned about the extra weight when I bought it and have never been bothered by it.

Got to fish out of the camando today and I love it, plenty of room and easy to set up. I should have bought one of these years ago

I checked on the light bars and was wondering where you hung it from? Did you hang it from the loop right above your head? How do batteries hold up in the cold? Thanks

I have one for days when I go solo and a clam voyeger for days I have company. the weight is a big plus VS the bigger shanties and the sled is a big plus VS the the flat cabin style. The only drawback that I have with it is I hit the rod on the canopy from time to time due to the steep angle and it has cost me a few fish this season, I have had the Commando for about a month and am pleased with it over all. The one advantage to the frabill is the travel cover with the access zipper on the top for getting gear in and out without removing the cover.
