MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
As a larger person 6'6'' and over 300 lbs I have never considered a oneman shelter , until a couple years ago . Frabill came out with the Commando , finally a one man shack I could sit in and not have the tent rubbing my head . With a seat thats as comfortable to sit in after 10 hours on the ice as it is the first ten minutes . With a sled , and pole system made to be easy to use and withstand the winds of South Dakota . With a seat system thats not only confortable but durable and able to easy hold me with no fear of breakage . All this from a company i can fully trust . I have a Frabill 7080 that is on its third season . Last year on a trip to canada both plastic seat frames broke in temps of -30 . I figured I was gonna have to buy new frames . Upon return to the states I called customer service , she asked how old the shack was , i said it was 1 1/2 years old . She then apologized for my inconvenience and said I would be receiving complete new seat assemblies . Their supplier had had a resin problem causing their seats to break in extreme cold conditions . They thought they had been caught , but a few had been shipped . A couple days latter i had completly new seats , covers pads and all . The three things that make a great company is , Great products , competitive prices and great customer service . I feel Frabill has all three .......
i have a 10 year old clam 2000 thats still kicking never had a problem with customer service either.i went with the frabill commando over the pro tc this year and will see if i made the right decision.
I bought a clam 2000 a few seasons ago and am not completely happy with it. The fabric is shedding black stuff on the inside and I get covered with black dust when I'm in it. The floor cracked on the very first trip with it......not beating up on the thing either....just sitting in it. The workmanship is not exactly top notch in my opinion. I'd try another brand if I ever bought another flip over.
There's one thing hear that alot of you seem to miss. Your posts start like this I've had a such and such for so many years and have had no problems. This is not the issue. This site is about current ice fishing!!!!! I could care less about your 10 year old clam its bought and payed for. Pay attention, to the current facts, it might save you some dough. Like most of us time on the ice is limited. So make the best of it and buy quality products. I make a hard earned honest dollar and would like to make the most of it.
Clam Corp. has yet to start a new post on IceShanty.Anyone else notice that. only 3 pages of Clam related items, have a look. http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?board=184.0They may not know how to post here - help 'em out.
I can't believe this thread had not been removed. This is a great thing! This site is not ruled by sponsors. I think that the shanty is a excellent source to gain the latest info on the sport of hardwater.
