Just wanted to know what you bought this year that was a game changer for you?
I bought a whiplass and hooked up a northern quick strike to it.... It was an awesome preformer.
Also got a salmo lure and that pounded fish my whole last day

Jiffy Pro 4! Bently Tungsten Jigs! Mucks! Starlite Chem Sticks! Showdown 5.6 Dual Beam! Otter Pro Sled!
Had a great time with all of this gear and packed in a pretty good season in a matter of weeks. Very happy with all of these purchases and looking to get a double flip shanty next year and maybe a camera!!! Can't wait...

Hands down, it is the LX-7, it has made a Huge difference on the ice for me ! A close second is the Striker Ice Lite Suit and last but certainly not the least, the Custom Laker Taker, Trout rod that Drifter_016/Dave Orr, up in Yellowknife, NWT built for me ! The Strikemaster Glide Lite sled also gets an Honorable mention !

Too easy, an electric log splitter. Gives me more time to use the new Bravo, auger, flasher, and reel.

This is too easy to. Three simple things,
1. took a promotion at work and I now work a split shift so now I won't loose half of saturday sleeping.
2. My salary grew by 25% this spring so now I can acutally afford to fish again.
3. My fiance loves fish so now I have a fishing partner thats almost as crazy as I am.

Nothing "new" but new to me. An FL-8 and a Jiffy 30, both minty, for a whopping $105. Can't wait to use both.

Nothing major this year...took care of that the last couple years. I do have 3 thorne bros rods I'm anxiously awaiting to get done. Have picked up some jigs to custom paint on a rainy day. Just got a new pair of pacs...Irish setters. Last but not least, got my name on waiting list for a Black Betty reel for the TB hole hopping rod I'm having made. The ice can't come soon enough!!

My new custom made lake trout rod by Drifter016, my Striker Ice Suit and my Marcum LX-7.
I actually had the LX-7 at the very end of last year but did not get to give it a real go.

(clam suitcase type),, haven't been able to get rid of it for him, so I will probably end up buyint it , just so the mice don't eat it.. Oh, and have a new pair of snowpants ordered from North Face.. on their way..

Having always fished with my fathers Equipment, I figured it was time to branch out and get my own stuff now that I got a decent job
So with the help of all the members on this board, I got the new strikemaster 35cc light, Otter pro lodge, and marcum 7

Not for ice fishing but I picked up a Remington Model 6 pump .30-06 (essentially a BDL grade 7600) with a scope for $500. I've wanted one of these since I was 10. Beautiful high gloss dark walnut wood, deep bluing, smooth action with no rattle...
My best purchase for hardwater this year is going to be a flasher or underwater camera, one or the other. For commercial perch fishing on Champlain I know I can make back the money spent on one in less than half of a season.
