New Toys! Who's got em??
« on: Oct 27, 2015, 04:29 PM »
Well Ive always wanted a hand auger for early and late in the season, so when I found this Fin-Bore III 6" on ebay I had to make an offer. He took my $100 offer and even got free shipping. Looks like it was only used once or twice to me. Blades say Made in Sweden. Hope it works good.







Also, I found this sled (2000 440Z f/c) for a reasonable price so I had to snag it for trail riding. Wont have to ride the Panther Deluxe long track (in back) on the trails now, just use it for ice fishing.




Lets see what you got for goodies!

Bought a 4 wheeler two years ago for ice fishing.  Then we got some real snow again the past two winters, and the 4 wheeler wasn't much use.  So, I sold it and picked this up this summer.  Still need to do a little to get it ready to go, but should get a lot more use out of it than the wheeler!

Next up is to turn the two Jiffy augers I have into one nice new electric auger...

I have the exact same sled, Ski-Doo Touring E 1999. I only have about 700 miles on it, used mostly for ice fishing.

Good Luck! You'll love it.

Let's hope the Lakers think so. I replaced the trebles with singles. Oh! And I also got some Pro-Cure in smelt. Not how effective it is but it can't hurt.

I picked this "Toy" up recently and I am hoping to be able to join the Moosehead activities this year as I will have a decent truck to pull my trailer.. Hope to be able to see some of you fellers there.

  Received these a week ago, but have had problems loading images.  For buying a rod sight unseen, I made out pretty well.  That is No. 8 tackle's The Snitch combo.  I really like the feel and it was everything I hoped it would be.  Can't wait to try it out.  Almost took the Lx-5i out in the boat today but decided not to.  Glad I didn't.  Boat was rocking pretty hard.  Probably wouldn't have learned much.

How does the rod feel action/strength wise?

Was looking at them online but I would use an open face spinning reel.
