I'm considering switching from a hub shelter to a flip over. I usually only use a shelter when targeting smelt -- a pursuit that requires a ton of gear and space. Accordingly, I've narrowed my search to the Otter X-Over Lodge series or the Clam JM X200. Basically, I want the largest shelter I can manage by myself.I will tow the shelter with a Snowdog, so no hand pulling. And, I plan to get an enclosed trailer next year -- no wrestling on and off the tailgate.How are the X200 shelters holding up? Any problems with the fabric? The tub? Anything that frustrates you or needs improvement?Same for the Otter.Thanks in advance.
Thank you, gentlemen! Excellent feedback!Just ordered the JM X200 from Scheel's. $200 off and free shipping seemed like a good deal.In the end, I think the X200 is a slightly better value than the Otter. The included accessories like the light bar and travel cover are essential. Only had to add the runner kit.Was able to use Club Points at Bass Pro to score the Pro Hitch for free.
Just can't post-hole through 2 feet of powder anymore.
You'll love the pro hitch. Works killer.I drag this thing everywhere!(Image removed from quote.)
No worries. Almost every big ticket ice fishing purchase I've made has been during an end-of-season sale.Only exception was the Snowdog. Enthusiasm and desire yielded to wisened pragmatism. Just can't post-hole through 2 feet of powder anymore.
Scored a Clam X300 Pro Thermal yesterday from Thorne Bros for $675.00 pluse 149.00 shipping. Can't wait for next season now!
Only good thing about clam products is their warranty. Good luck with your purchase
