Garbage.  Give me back my 10 minutes of life I wasted looking at your product.  Another rip-off.  How many "hub" makers do we need?  So your chincy floor separates you from the pack I assume.  Prob 1 time use once it is frozen into the ice.  "as the insulated floor darkens holes and fish ISN'T frightened".   Not proper Englais...  Junk!!!!!

Although we cannot give you your 10 mins back, i can assure you our shelters are not "Junk."  Everyone is entitled to their opinion and we respect your criticism.  It is unfortunate that you disapprove of our product.  The floor is not a (1) time use and it is most certainly not "chincy."  I suggest checking one out for yourself, in person, before passing judgement.  Many people enjoy the hub-style shelters even though you feel its a saturated market.  We apologize for upsetting you and not using proper "Englais."  We have many happy customers who would respectfully disagree with your comments.  We understand that our shelters are not for everyone; however, we are able to help many people enjoy the sport of ice fishing with family and friends in comfort without breaking the bank while still providing them with a quality durable product.

Saw one of your hubs out on Chaumont Bay the other day, we were already off the ice and saw it from a few hundred yards away.  Next time I see one on the ice I'm gonna take a closer look.  Nice looking unit for sure.

Definitely check one out next time you see one and let us all know what you think.  We hope to seperate ourselves from the rest of the hub shelters.  All manufacturers do a good job, we strive to do better.  BTW, thank you for your service!

I am happy to see your new shelter on the market.I am sure it will fit some fisherman's style of fishing.I have 4 different shelters and can find a use for all 4 at different times or for different types of fishing. My big 2 man clam is great when I take some one else and can use the 4-wheeler to drag it around and my new Shappell flip up is great when i am alone and must walk to my fishing spot. I think the more competition the better.the good ones will weed out the not so good ones.

Thank you for the kind words.  And your right, different tools for different jobs...   We hope our shelters can fit the needs of many, but certainly understand that we are just one tool, at this time, in the tool belt.   

Thanks I'm in the market now looking hard at the otters.

They definitely make great shelters.  Ours offer something a little different from the rest and our main focus is on durability, warmth, and quality.  We want to see people fishing longer and harder.  Being able to take family and friends to enjoy the great outdoors without spending too much on something that may/may not break.  Thats why we offer lifetime warranty on all of our fully metal hub units and solid fiberglass poles.  We are confident in our products and work very closely with our customers.  Thank you for considering us.

I think that a pop-up shanty with a floor is a cool idea, I know that my feet can get cold, even when I'm in our Clam Bigfoot. Doesn't take much between the ice and your feet to keep them warm. Also wanted to thank PolarBird for sponsoring this forum and allowing ice anglers from around North America to communicate with each other. 

[varmonter]

I too am considering a hub.just registered on your site.

About the video. I think the person walking out with your shelter should
Be in coveralls and hooded.than when the fridged
Fisherman opens the door.there would be a bikini
Clad beauty....just my $0.02

Hahahaha, i love it!  Be careful what you wish for...   The bikinis might just be coming, but who knows who they will be on.  lol

[gofish22]

I am that guy right now. Shelter and heater are both stuck in the Midwest. Hasn't really been a problem because I normally don't mind fishing without one so I can move around. But this weekend looks like it is going to be another story.

Great question!   I can only answer that with a    Due to the popularity of our hubs, we are discussing many options.  This has been a topic of discussion on many occasions. 

[Lavman]

I was just checking out your website, PB. Your hub shanties are really well priced (not to mention ON SALE  ) and I think the floor system is great! The floor looks really simple to install, and would be easy enough to wipe down and hang to dry at home when you are done with it for the day. 

[JMailbox8]

I take it you have to take your creepers off every time you enter your shanties if the floor is down?

Yes, and put on your flip flops, did you watch the commercial? 

[RipSomeLips22]

This forum should be moved, it is just a commercial promoting a product, has nothing to do with forum type material.

Thank you.  It truly is that easy.  We flip the floor over and slide it around on the ice/snow to clean it off and then just pack it up.  Drying is optional depending on how often you fish.  Obviously if it will be stored, then drying is more important.   

I take it you have to take your creepers off every time you enter your shanties if the floor is down?

This is only necessary if your cleats are extremely aggressive.  We are doing testing with more aggressive cleats, but have not found any that will damage the floor...   ...yet.  Here is a link to some of the same type of information we have discussed on a separate thread.  http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=328299.20

Hope this helps.

   Flip flps are optional.
