I'm gonna be getting me a clam 5600 for the nasty days and when the girlfriend wants to go. I don't know why she won't go unless she has a shanty to sit in. Lol. Then a 6 inch hand auger for early ice pan fishing.

Just got done building a couple of these to get rid of the tangled up mess I had with the rod bags I was using. They each hold 6 rods, and the rods are MUCH more protected than they were in the bags! Well worth the time and effort put in to getting them done!

I sold the Marcum VX1 Pro, got a Lowrance Elite 4x HDI, selling the Clam Summit this weekend and getting the new Eskimo 6120 6 sided shanty. Also picked up a pair of Duluth trading Firehose bibs. And getting the 13 fishing tickle stick paired with a shimano sienna 500. and possibly grabbing a Sullivan tip drop to test out this season and see how I like it.

This looks great. How much does it weigh? I'd be tempted to build one if its light enough.

jthod · « **Reply #129 on:** Oct 24, 2014, 09:25 AM »

Something like that build with Baltic berch plywood would be great! very strong and light

I may have to do some work in the wood shop

They are a bit hefty. With 6 rods, they weight about 24 lbs a piece, but that's because I built them rugged. Dad always taught me, if it calls for 6 nails, use 12! I'm sure you can lighten them up a bit by using different materials. I wasn't concerned about the weight only because I have a Smitty sled, plus once the ice is thick enough, I use my 4 wheeler. I wanted something that was going to provide solid protection for my rods.

You won't be sorry with this wheeler!! I have an '07 Sportsman 500 EFI Mossy Oak Edition and absolutely love it!! Course, I'm a Polaris man anyways, but still, you won't be sorry!!

this year i added a jiffy stealth STX pro to replace my old nordic star and added 6 beaver dam tip ups for the kids and wife. i plan on buying some new combos. maybe some wicked 13s? when i add new rods i plan on getting a hard case to protect them. i am sure ill get some new jigs and spoons along the way, maybe add some new lakes as well.

A Big Buddy heater is on the list now...hoping to catch a good deal Black Friday.

Mounted the auger on the front. I'm totally mobile now.

bwana72 · « **Reply #139 on:** Oct 30, 2014, 11:41 AM »

This years addition is going to be a pop up shelter. I got a bunch of Bass Pro Shops gift cards for my birthday that I have been hanging onto, and I am going to be cashing them in on a new Clam Six Pack 1660 Mag Thermal. Hoping this year yo get the wife and daughter to come out and join my son and I...and there just isn't enough room in my flip over for all of us. And, my son and I have talked about "camping out" on the ice a couple times this year and the Six Pack will give us more than enough room. Other than that my $$$ will be going towards a couple trips. I spent a buttload of $$$ on gear last year so we are pretty much set.

lefty2053 · « **Reply #140 on:** Oct 30, 2014, 01:03 PM »

Well I wasn't going to add anything this year but, I got a second rod bag,24 Jigs,another Mr. Jigger,another smaller sled the wife will pull out and got a truck after getting rid of the Ford Explorer. I also made another Smitty sled for the wifes sled. Oh yea and the Marcum Troller for the wife.

eyeflyer · « **Reply #141 on:** Oct 30, 2014, 04:38 PM »

Nothing big this year, picked up a trailer, snowmobile and otter sled late last year. Added a couple rod holders to the snowmobile and ordered some more wave buster floats, but that is about it for me.

OldCaveman · « **Reply #142 on:** Oct 30, 2014, 05:06 PM »

My plan was also nothing new this year but I just ordered a set of replacement blades for my 8" Finbore III hand auger.

Chipper77 · « **Reply #143 on:** Oct 30, 2014, 05:32 PM »

This is my first year on the ice. I have spent a lot of coin on the essentials (ie. rods, spoons, jigs terminal tackle). I still need to get a flasher and shelter. The shelter is on the want list not the need list though.

New to the community!, I added a Wicked Ice rod/reel combo, a hard case for my rods and reels, a bunch of new jigs, and a Marcum LX-7 that my wife doesn't need to find... lol

Baxter1 · « **Reply #149 on:** Oct 31, 2014, 10:58 AM »

Probably some more jigs(have plenty but always need more) and looking for a new jigging rod(for spoons).I busted the tip a couple seasons back when 2 deer crossed in front of me one night.The bucket they were in slid and crashed in the back of my truck.
