I just bought simms challenger insulated jacket and bibs through reeds sports.  At checkout it was $600 for the set and I entered the promotion code “ICE”. Brought it down to $419.  It needed up being less than a lot of other outfits I was looking at so I am happy so far

The Pfluger President inline reel I bought . Used it 3 days & the dam trigger broke off inside the housing. First pfluger I ever bought & the last 1 I will ever buy. Junk !!

Well, I didn’t plan on it at the beginning of the season, but when I saw this HT e-drill on Amazon for $119 I couldn’t pass it up! 🤪

Arrived just in time for the weekend! 😎

Looking forward to seeing it in action.  May the ice always be thick and hard, and your blades always sharp.

Let’s see … new shelter, jet sled and runners , jigging rods , tip ups , heater, tungsten jigs, ice line, laser auger, Dewalt 20 v brushless hammerdrill , as back up found a NOS Ryobi 2 cycle gas HD hammer drill and an adapter for the laser as a backup, 2 new mad bomber hats , outdoor edge razor fin ( crazy sharp). I think that’s it. I have not bought any bait yet but due to work today was my first day to go and as of last night the ice did not look promising.

Hey 629, where are you located, I didn't see it on your profile. The ice should be fine up North there was over 10" last week.

And.. after fishing I decided that I need 2 more spare jigging rods and 15 more tungsten jigs.
It seems that when a bluegill that would normally be turned back swallows the expensive jig he gets to ride home with me. I can no longer quickly retie a knot in the dark so I can justify having at least 3 spare rods all rigged up just like a real bass fisherman or something.

Live scope is the best video game out there. Shallow water it isn't very effective for locating fish but the fun factor is up there. I wouldn't let go of the flasher or last screen you used as they are nice for being quick/ mobile/ light weight. I paired mine with 2 10ah lithium batteries and the system is something to lug around. Congrats

Yup, keeping the vex for now. Got the graph at spring sale, and ducer can wait until Black Friday. Spread the pain, ha.

I was looking at the sierra wide 1 but I am not sure if I can pack light enough. How’s the sled storage? Looks a bit limited in the vids.

Kind of did what 800Stealth did - I finally pulled the trigger on a 2022 Kodiak SE.  This will be primarily used in the winter but it is fun to ride in the summer.

Another ice spoon mold.
And I had to buy a new Big Buddy heater as I broke mine last year.
