Overpriced

The issue with the Jiffy, is that they had/have a pretty lousy marketing for this auger already. Yes they are late to the electric game but what is their selling point that makes them better then the rest of market? That it is 42 volt and 6 amp over the SM 40V, 5amp? I sure hope not if it cant stand up to the inches of ice it can chrew threw with the ripper blades. They created some hype on FB with their countdown and have seen some people ask questions via their FB page about the longevity of the batteries and how much ice it will chew threw. So far I haven't seen any answers to this specific question. If you are going to sell an auger, people want real data before dropping that kind of coin on a machine.

I hope they prove me wrong and the thing is top of the line. That way it pushes the other electric auger companies out there to come out with something better.

Only time will tell.....

Ripper blades would be the attraction, but that might limit the number of holes. Guess we'll see,  outta my price range for now

Ooooooohhhhh.   A polycarbonate spoon with a glow stick...cool.

It's like the old Yozuri lures with glow sticks inserts.  Only it's a spoon.

Okay I went to the store to check out the Lindy glow sticks spoon there and wasn't that impressed with the finished product appearance.   I'm sure it will catch fish when it doesn't matter so much.  So I got other stuff from impulse buying.

I bought a Northland jig with a belly spinning blade.  Not that it's much different from a road runner or the Thumper jig.  But it's just a little different.

I also bought that VenomFloat spoon with the extra line tie hole.  To be honest I think the extra line tie is on the wrong side for fluttering effect,but it would be on the correct side for chatter blade swimming effect.  I only bought the smallest one.  Turns out I didn't read the package glow effect requirements for uv light to charge the glow.  Good thing I do have such a uv light.

And of course I bought into Acme Hyper Rattle bait.  Not for the rattle but because of its mean looking angry eyes.  It's a heavyweight lure and dives down fast.
