I see Gagnon Sports in Oshawa is selling some things I would call before venturing in as they have limited Eskimo stuff

My local Canadian Tire carries some Eskimo Products but far from the whole line.

LeBarons also carries eskimo augers. If I remember they have a store in Ottawa, Montreal, Missisauga, and Markham. Maybe one other place but can't remember off the top of my head. They have a website.

Canadiantire has Rapalas for $250 right now which are a rebranded Eskimo. I think it might have been a three day sale; if you are looking to purchase now it might be worth looking into. I think Costco is also carying a rebranded Eskimo. They have a pretty awesome return policy too I think.

If not you can try Lebaron.ca

Which pop out hut are you looking for?
I'm thinking about the FatFish 949i.

that's the one - I've heard great things!  I did a little experiement on the weekend where I marked out the dimensions of various ones in my living room and set up mock fishing setups - the fatfish is a perfect size for 2 guys and lots of gear.  I'm looking for one I can cook in and sleep in - the quickfish 6 is big and cheap and light, but I didn't like the rectangle shape and the 9416 seemed like overkill considering I'm hand towing.  One thing to watch out for, is the collapsed length of the fatfish is 65" if I'm not mistaken - but that was word of mouth, can't find the official spec for collapsed length.

yeah, please do - I'm driving up there just to see the CTC and protackle, and one more store icejunky recommended, can't remember the name...would hate to make the drive if they're not setup for ice fishing yet...although I know protackle is having a notax sale and doing some kind of "ice gear" special this weekend.

I know you don't live near BPS but they have the Eskimo Fat Fish on sale right now for $229 I think. Check out their recent flyer. Prices good until Dec 24.

Pretty sure I saw some Eskimo stuff at the new Sail store in Vaughn when I was in there two weeks ago. I believe they also do mail order if you're not close.

Dang, that's a good deal!  I already ordered one from red rock at $219, and I'm going to try out the border pickup service called "kinek", I would've ordered that fat fish from BPS for sure if I had heard earlier, oh well.
