I see the ice fishing equipment is starting to hit the shelf's. I have been holding off on buying new, until I see the new products this year. I am planning to hit the ice show for the first time. I'm ready for ice.

Amen brother, it wont be long now! Wish I could make it to the show but work is getting in the way of fun as usual!

Plan on spending more then a few hours at the ice show. Great seminars, tons of vendors, and generally a lot of people attending.

Bass Pro Altoona has had everything out since late September.

SaxMan · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 30, 2011, 03:30 PM »

I haven't seen the new fenwick ice rods anywhere but bass pro, but it is still early. I think that I will try the Marmish hand rod out this year to fun.

I was over to fleet farm in mason last week andstill nothing very depressed

hawkfan24 · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 30, 2011, 10:03 PM »

Was in Scheels in Des Moines yesterday and they are starting to get quite a bit of gear out. Had a lot of rods (jason mitchell's, frabil straight line) and quite a few jigs (tungstens, etc).

anderson_dc · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 31, 2011, 07:49 AM »

Scheels in Coralville also has most of their stuff out too.

About that time again. My boats are headed for storage on Friday. $:-\$

I bought my Fenwick Elite Tech ice rods off of MidwestHuntersOutlet.c om a few weeks ago. Their site, last I checked, still showed them as "coming soon" but I bought the 25" UL and the 28" ML after they started showing up on ebay for 18.99 each, 6 shipping. They shipped the UL a few days after the order and then the ML a week later. Last I looked they were 19.94 each. Reeds Sporting goods and other places I see them listed for 29.99. A few on ebay for 25 plus 5 shipping.

Woody61 · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 02, 2011, 07:04 PM »

I'm pretty well set on gear this year other than the strike lite that just came in I ordered a few weeks ago. If I sell my camera I may also dump my older pro scout and get a new one.

Shrades · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 02, 2011, 07:23 PM »

i'm getting a Nil hand auger. I think a couple of meat sticks. And a buch of new lures to choose from.

jurrensb · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 02, 2011, 08:03 PM »

Thinking of getting a power auger this year. Just trying to decide if i can handle dragging the extraweight out. Im also thinking of getting some new rods. First season with a good job so I can afford it.

rouser · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 02, 2011, 08:48 PM »

I'm replenishing jigs and spoons this year... someone helped themselves to my gear last year... guess I shouldn't have left it in my truck, parked in my driveway

I did pick up a new (to me sled) earlier this year. Added a Digger auger mount to it, a RAM mount for the GPS, still need to add some ice scratchers.

IceHaus · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 03, 2011, 08:47 AM »

Looking at a Clam Command Post (thermal) for some elbow room when there's more than two of us and a powered auger this year. Would love a new Vex but the budget is blown on the previous two items unless I win the lottery.

Since I can't get my fl 20 sold and find the lx7 I pulled the trigger on a tri ducer for it yesterday I was going to buy arctic armor but with funds running low think I'm ganna get blue ice armor suit

My brother is looking at that unit as well for his first flasher. He's torn between that and the vx 1 pro and the fl 8. Like I told him you'll be a lot happier fisherman then without one. Good luck and tight lines just counting the days

Commenting on the Arctic Armor, good jacket but overrated for warmth, and the ice 35 I have one for a backup to my fl20 but nothing out there will catch more fish, great unit for the $$
