anyone remember what they carry?

wife is getting me a christmas present, and they don't list which models they have on their website

I haven't been there this year, but in year's past they had most of the popular sized clams. I'd just give 'em a call.

Go to Dicks Sporting Goods. Even better if you can find the little guy that stocks them. Beans has turned away from the sportsman that it was created for and I will not do business with them anymore. Two Rivers canoe in Medway or Old Town Trading Post I will deal with. Keep the little guy in business. I know Dicks isn't the little guy but at least they don't profess to be for the sportsman and cater to the yuppies.

and honestly, LLB still employs a hell of a lot of mainers, and they do what they have to to continue doing so.....i am ok with them, although i don't but a ton there

I was there the other night. It is hard to beat a 40% off sale. They had all of the Clam models, two Shappells, and a couple HT or Frabills-I don't remember which. Any one been up to their new store and seen the cold water fish tank in the wall? Not quite the size of a Bass Pro fish tank, bu tthe spread of trout is impressive.

i am thinking the 5600 makes sense

lindenborn · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 16, 2007, 07:57 PM »

The Fishtrap Scout for 200 bucks is a nice little one person shack.

_FLAG_ · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 17, 2007, 06:23 AM »

I have 2 Shappell 4000's. I would recommend them to anyone... Lot's of room and very easy to set up.

Go to KTP Beans Blows for IF stuff

yukoncornelius · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 17, 2007, 10:46 AM »

i think they (LLB) now stock more than KTP

keepah seekah · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 17, 2007, 11:55 AM »

i have an ice cube, good investment. sets up in about 2 minutes. comes with screw in spikes, and comes in backpack type storage bag. i've fit 4 people in it with a little room to spare.

just bought a clam 2man guide at ktp 4 259.99.price at dicks is 399.99.it is a killer shack.i previously had shapell 3000 ,what a pain in the butt.

smeltshack · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 17, 2007, 02:32 PM »

I have the Shappell 3000 and its a pain because the poles fall out when dragging it
The window cracked
The Bunjee cords broke that hold the poles together

I do like the larger window
I do like how light it is
I do like how quick it sets up

I now have a sled and want to get the Big Clam 5600 as it is much more durable and more room for the kids and friends

i just bought a clam sleeper finally found one at kittery. weights 190 but i put a couple of down hill skis under it and pulls great!

Doug D · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 18, 2007, 05:23 PM »

I have a clam 5600. Good for 1-2 people can fit more but it gets pretty cramped inside. Sets up quickly. Would recommend it to anyone. I have found it tows hard by hand but I strap it to top of the jet sled and it pulls great.
