I've debated on those Kahtoola microspikes but I'm always worried they're going to cause more damage than anything.  Floorboards in vehicles, skirts around hubs and flip overs, etc. 

I put the IceTrekkers Diamond grips on my amazon wishlist as I thought they'd be less harmful to the things I own.

FG Steve -- looks like an awesome trailer, congrats!

Ice Trekker Diamonds are great!  Won't tear everything up.  They are well constructed as well.

just received Frabill IFloat jacket from WalMart for $94 and free shipping.  I hope I won't need it.

Howdy all, so i have a 30 in. TUCR Bullwhip on order and im starting to regret not getting it in a 32 in. length. What would be the difference between the two lengths? Besides the two inches of course. Fish mostly hole hopping.
zero difference in the tip and backbone. just personal pref on the extra 2in depending on how tall you are, if you like to stand or kneel, etc.

I picked up a brand new Helix 7 ice for $300 on craigslist and sold the the ice kit for $200 and kept the Helix 7 head to use on my four wheeler for a GPS. Ended up only having to cough up $100 for brand new Helix 7 head unit and my dad who doesn't ice fish already has the lake masters plus chip for me to use during the winter months. Can't beat that.

OK, so this year just got expensive... ;D

and none of that "don't tell my wife" baloney.  She went with me to order it and again to pick it up!

I'm trying to figure out what the heck that is in the background a big propane tank on a trailer?

Oh, that's my buddy's portable, commercial smoking setup.  The booth is designed to look like his horizontal smoker.  His pulled pork tacos are pretty good.

No, I didn't buy this for ice fishing:

Slick idea. A guy could probably make a fortune around here just at lunch time with something like that.

Purchased a new Marcum VS485C underwater cam - just because I didn't have one - and wanted one for no good reason - but I got it now - and I'm happy - and as long as I'm happy - that's all that matters....

Now I'm looking at the  Humminbird ICE HELIX 7 CHIRP GPS/Sonar G2 Combo / 410440-1 /...   Already have a Marcum Showdown 5.6.   ...  Again I think it'd make me REALLY happy!....

I agree Im looking forward to putting it to good use this year.  I need to pick up a lake master chip for it and of course the South Dakota one and Minnesota ones are 2 different chips. Ill have to keep an eye of ebay for a deal to pop up.

You will love them. Gas station managers will not! Just make sure you take them off before you walk on things that aren’t ice or pavement.

I really enjoy my Kahtoola’s. I could run full speed on the ice if I wasn’t so out of shape.   :roflmao: :roflmao:

Well they arrived faster than I expected them too so that was cool! Tried them on both pairs of boots I have, which my muck boots are size 11 and my insulated Rockies are 11.5 and the xl fit great on both pairs and easily slipped on and off! Can't wait for ice!
