What new gear are you planning to buy for the upcoming season. So far on my list is a bait caster reel and a Striker suit if I can get a good deal on one.

Probably a 6x6 pop-up shanty. The small Ontario style shanty I built last summer worked great, but it's a little bulky for the back of my SUV.

I'll probably be getting an Ion.

I'll have lots less gear for next year. Big garage sale coming up. Time to trim the collection.

The sensitive tip made of the bamboo.
That's an item indispensable to pond smelt fishing.

Wonderful. If I had directions, I'd clean out my bank account & drive over!

I bought a brand new Jiffy 30XT in Janurary, then picked up a month old StrikeMaster Chipper Magnum after ice out. Going to sell the Jiffy.

Going to cash in some PTO in July and buy a FLX28.

I'm going to building a pair of custom rods and deck them out with new spinning reels. I was thinking of getting a camera but not sure I want to spend the money just yet - if not I'll get a nice pair of bibs

I picked up a Humminbird 688ICE unit after ice out and I'm planning on getting a Frabil flip over shack as well...

thinking i am set unless some thing new and improved must have item shows up on the web.

for the gear you want like the striker, wait for black friday sales to start. i got mine from dicks sports for 25% off last season and free ship.

I might get a ion ice auger this coming ice fishing year.

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #13 on:** May 05, 2015, 02:22 PM »

I just came across some small jigs , plastics and a Lindy Perch talker that I misplaced at the beginning of the season ...so those will be my first go to items . As for Striker Ice suits Red Rock Wilderness store is updating their website ...they had some deals/clearance last spring/summer ... I am sure they will again before the "new' versions come out . I did get a new aqua Vu camera last season ...so unless some new gotta have it item comes out I think I am set . Who am I kidding I am sure to spend a $ 100 bucks in lures and do dads before the first hole is even drilled for the 2015/2016 season.

I need some maggots.

Upgrade to an LX-5, a couple of Clam Spooler reels and a lift suit to start

Susky · « **Reply #17 on:** Jun 09, 2015, 12:47 PM »

A nice pair of bibs and possibly a shelter are my thoughts as of now. Gotta get my sled built too.

RallyGreen · « **Reply #18 on:** Jun 10, 2015, 07:30 AM »

I've already received a couple long ice slammer rods and set them up with some 30 sized reels. The guides are larger than my other rods, so looking forward to using them!

The big change for next season will be an enclosed snowmobile trailer. Ever since I saw a guy unload his machine and sleigh in a fraction or the time it takes me with an open trailer, I've wanted to upgrade.

I've been looking at these also. I almost bought a SM lithium electric last season and now there's a sign at the customer service desk at Cabela's saying there's a recall on them. Good thing I didn't jump. The Ions just look really good, and I've heard good things.

Gloves and jigs

ryan3703 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jun 14, 2015, 09:10 AM »

added a clam six pack 1660 mag thermal a couple weeks ago for a great price. Other then that the New Bull whip and Dead stick rods from Tuned up custom rods and a couple Trions to go on them.

RStock521 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jun 26, 2015, 12:30 PM »

I'm looking to get a Clam Bigfoot XL4000t. Was hoping I could find one at the end of the season for a good price, but everywhere was sold out. Waiting for Black Friday deals now...

ryan3703 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jun 26, 2015, 09:26 PM »

You can pick up a Big Foot XL4000T at L&M Fleet for 319.00 I love mine very awesome hut

Spider1 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jun 27, 2015, 09:03 AM »

nope, I don't need to get a thing... I got everything I need.... riiiiiiiight

TheMainah · « **Reply #25 on:** Jun 27, 2015, 09:35 AM »

Looking at flashers, probably gonna go with the Marcum vx1 pro.

RStock521 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jun 27, 2015, 10:04 AM »

Thanks for the heads up! I had been searching, but gave up. Just might have to order this, don't know how much cheaper they can go.

I need a larger sled to hand-pull my gear. Any suggestions?

Should add your location to your profile . Otter Outdoors makes some great sleds to tote your gear .

I didn't get to use mine nearly as much as I would have liked last year but the 25 holes or so that I did bore awesome, I highly recommend buying one. The Ion had as much zing as my Solo auger. When I finally got around to using it we had about 30" of ice and the Ion literally ripped right through it. I can't wait to use it this year, I may be selling the Solo.

I do want to buy a spare battery for it for the times I have an extended stay. Also some of my fishing is on some very remote lakes where you just want to have your basses covered.
