I think I had one just like that   It was a wreck when I got it and I used it until it just fell apart  never was much of a sled fan  that was the only one I ever had

The antiques that got me out there are my legs. I ain't gonna post any pictures as they are old and full of varicose veins.

I have a carrier pigeon which chirps everytime a new post is made on IceShanty that I can immediately respond to regardless of topic or conversation.

Never tried a spoon auger .... I'm assuming they don't work as well as the regular ones ??

They actually work quite well. I've got one. Little extra work, but can be good. But it requires work which of course....

My Dad gave me a Mora ice auger 42 years ago when I was 12.....still the only auger i use!!!  I also had a 72 Ski Doo Elan 250....that sled was the perfect icefishing sled.

Funny i never thought some of my gear were antiques!! LOL
