Title: If a man in a sling
Post by: allthumbs on Feb 04, 2011, 06:07 AM: If a man with one of his arms in a sling came up and asked you if you would cut him a hole, would you do it? Because I cant take it anymore I have to hit the ICE !

Post by: shantysitter on Feb 04, 2011, 07:12 AM: Cutting holes might be good physical therapy.(KIDDING) Of course I would. I would cut 2 right next to each other that way when you start catching fish I could use the other one. Go out and catch some fish.

Title: Re: If a man in a sling
Post by: Fontona19 on Feb 04, 2011, 11:21 AM: I have cut holes for people in the past. Last year I was at a local lake, and saw an elderly gentlemen with what appeared to be his grandson trying to use an old rusty antique of a auger trying to cut a few holes. This guy looked like he was about to have a heart attack. I went over and showed him what the Nils was all about. I zipped in a couple of holes for him quick, and they were very gracious. Its always nice to help out, especially when kids are involved.

Post by: icedpapermouth on Feb 04, 2011, 11:38 AM: i will gladly drill some holes... i dislocated my shoulder a few weeks back and i still used the jiffy... just don't tell the dr's... sometimes a man has just gotta fish.

Sling or no sling I'll cut a hole for anyone!!

How come when I was in a sling you made me run my own auger, and pull my own sled. That's probably why I have to go in for my 3rd operation :(

Post by: upstate bass2 on Feb 04, 2011, 02:58 PM: Sure would!! I love cuttings holes with my ancient model 30 jiffy.

Title: Re: If a man in a sling
Post by: LPiceFishn on Feb 04, 2011, 03:20 PM: saw a couple of hillbillies here in indiana come out with one jiggin pole, a pry bar, and a case of bud light tryin to bust open old holes. Had a good chuckle then let them use my jiffy... I got a lot of flack for this in the indiana section. But wouldn't you watch em swing for a while first? Guess it wouldn't be so funny if they were down on there luck and trying to feed their famalies. They weren't too broke to buy a case of beer though! ;D

I fished on the ice 2 yrs ago after shoulder surgery, still in a sling and no way I could drill a hole. Dam right I would...But Id wonder why he came out alone or why his partners arent helping him. ???

Post by: Wind Flag on Feb 05, 2011, 10:21 PM: Sure seems to be a lot of kind fishermen here.

I was gonna buy a new auger, but I think I'll just get a sling instead. Cheaper and way less stress on my arms!

2yrs ago was fishing redlake in theresa. not to be disrespectful but these ft. drum guys come out on the ice dragging a couple coolers of beer some gigantic open water tackle boxes and full size spinning rods with a brand new 6 inch strikemaster auger. Now they were entertaining to watch if you know what i mean.

Post by: Garnet on Aug 28, 2011, 08:58 AM: with or without a sling, no problem. He asked for 1 I'd give'm 4 or 5 so in case that first one was bad i knew he had back-ups.

I have a beautiful sling for you. Only 1.....that is right 1 owner. It is in almost mint condition. It has an ergonomic pad from the factory. People cannot miss it. I offer 0 down 0% financing for the first year and I will even throw in a beer coozey so you can drink your unnecessarily ice cold *insert beverage here* while someone takes pity on you and drills your holes. All for the low low price of 10$.
