Hello. A poster from another forum suggested I monitor the best ice deals in this forum, as I am in the market for an ice shelter. He wants a 4 person one. I am not sure what brand to be focusing on- he mentioned Eskimo and Frabill. Does anyone have a recommendation for what I should be looking for? He mentioned that they can be $600 or less. I can spend more like $300 or a little higher. $600 is out of my price range. Is this the thread that I should watch for Black Friday deals? If anyone can remember what online stores offered last Black Friday, in terms of brand and price, then I can start thinking about what I am going to do. Any info would be appreciated.
Flipover style shelter. These have a plastic sled under them that the shelter folds down into. Hubs don't have a floor or a sled to haul them.
Thank you-I have looked on craigslist, but will keep looking. I am in Ohio, so probably not as many people have them, when compared to upper north states.
Guys, this FishUSA Deal... This probably won’t be exciting for too many, but you can buy a $50 St. Croix Avid ice rod and save $175 on a Shimano Stella. A $700 reel for $525. Posting for the few... Shimano’s are never on sale. A rare opportunity for the right people who can afford it.DN
Thanks - that is a really good deal!
You should be able to get it for around $225 or so....based on last year's pricing.....but like with all deals ymmv
$225 would be more in my comfort range for an ice shelter!
https://www.dunhamssports.comDunham's sends a 20% off coupon probably every week. I'm not sure of their ice fishing selection, and they do not do any online retail, so you would need to stop in and find out, or call your closest store and ask about their shanty selection if you do not have one nearby. sign up for their emails, they send lots of "super coupons" too
Thank DBV. I bought a Shimano Exsence 3000MHG in the spring to go on 13 Fishing Archangel spinning rod at $540 plus tax. For those that understand the numbers, Im kicking myself in the butt. Hindsight is 20/20. The Exsence is a phenomenal reel and I was happy to use it most of the summer, but Ive always wanted a Stella...
Somehow I always picture that it's the precious fly fishermen that can talk themselves into dropping $500- $700 on a Hardy reel to pair up with their $1200 Orvis 5-wt rod in order to bring the experience of reeling in a 10" brookie to transcendent levels. Personally, it's rare that I need to move a fish more than twelve feet to the ice surface and that even the crummiest reel I've ever owned is capable of that. It's certainly not my place to tell you how to spend your money but I'd like to understand how you think about your equipment.
