used new Trekker 2 today !!
« on: Dec 19, 2010, 05:03 PM »
Finally got to use the new Trekker 2 i bought a couple months ago. All i kept asking myself was...What the heck took me so long to get a flip over. Pulling it loaded with gear was no problem. Ran my little buddy htr and had to keep it on the low setting. The Reflectix i put inside helped alot. I had to take off my Artic Armor jacket off while inside. Frabill makes on top notch shelter, easy set up and take down. I'm a happy fisherman today !!

Got my first flasher last year and my catch went up 10 fold. This year I got the flip-over, mr. heater, and artic armour. I can't wait to be nice and comfy while catching fish now.

i don't think you can go wrong with clam or frabill. ya there has been a problems with the clams hardware but by the time you get new hardware they are about the same price.

I also got a new Trekker 2 this year and thought the same thing, "what took me so long to get a flip over."  I love mine and it is easy for one guy to haul/load, and perfect for 2 guys as well, or one person and your dog...
Fishing is not about life or death, it is much more important than that! And all I have to say is FISH ON baby.

 Love my Trekker! It is great to the fact that if it is nice enough out you can just put just part of it to be a wind block! thats how i fish mine alot!

 One thing to watch on the Trekkers is the brackets on the sides will cut the seat cloth! I found a rubber protector that works really good. If anybody wants some of the protective material I will send it to you for $10 that includes shipping to you.  I complained to Frabil about this and the sent me a entire seat and frame at no charge!!!! Frabil rocks!!! I also just made a center console for my Trekker. Works great!

I just bought the trekker dlx this year. I don't know how I fished without it almost as important as my Marcum! Flip-overs are great for panfishing.

i wouldnt trade mine for anything its so convenient. its the perfect size for gear and 2 people fishing.. i have the regular trekker i would like to order the trekker 2 deluxe tent material for mine though... its a little bit thicker mine has 3 season on it now and it has a few small cuts in it. i may call frabill and see how much just the tent part would be. it would be sweet if i could do that
