You guys think the PVC auger cover would work for a Nils? Going to be buying a Nils, and I've heard the stock cover is garbage. Was going to buy a Cold Snap, but PVC is cheaper...
Use a Strike Master lazer cover on my Nils
Some good work ice scratcher, respect a man that thinks outside the box a little.
All augers, EVERY KIND, except Mora, come with, or have aftermarket cover options that are suitable... They just don't make anything good for them, so I made that.. It won't work the same with a Nils, at least I don't believe, I don't have one in hand..<°)))>{
I love the PVC cover . I used the idea on my mora . For Nils it's hard to beat the cold snap covers . There not homemade or cheap but they work and fit great . http://www.coldsnapcover.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=141/mode=prod/prd141.htm
Maybe a large pvc pipe cap and a bungee cord?? I am sure ice scratcher will figure one out he's macgyver of the ice fishing world.. lol's so let not hi jack the thread over a little cover..so time to start a thread about it..
I've been a fan of your fabrication & designs Scratcher, all well done! But lets face it, not everyone has your talent for it. I came up with a rod holder system I'd like to share with you and the group. I try to keep things as cheap and down dirty as possible, something the most challenged can fabricate.
Didn't want to hijack your thread, just add to it!
Alright guys, since the photo bucket crash, all pictures of my creations are now unavailable...I'm making this one thread as a compilation of my ideas, starting with the most recent pics that are still on my phone...First off, my drill cover, made from an antifreeze gallon jug...Hoping you all find these items helpful..Thanks for looking...<°)))>{
I like it...saw the same on YouTube...thanks for sharing.
The PVC cover is clever but your hand is still near the blades when using. I suggest one of the Cold Snap covers. You pop the cover off and on with your foot, and your hands are ALWAYS safely out of harms way.
Except that his cover is for a Mora auger and Cold Snap doesn't make one for a Mora.
Great ideas Ice Scratcher!
Exactly, and Mora covers stink, and nobody makes an aftermarket that works...<°)))>{
Yup! I made one like yours and love it! Thanks for the idea!
