MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Hazzy's got a bunch of 'em. I doubt he'd ever part with them though.
I have a cube also.....I only use shelter if its high winds or extremely cold, but have never had an issue with mine.......I set it up as a base camp when i arrive then hole hop......keep my extra gear in and a place to get a quick warm up....It fits perfectly within my jetsled.....I did see the Frabill's this year, and i did like the 2 door option, and would consider that if something should happen to mine......
Some of the new Jiffy augers are junk all plastic and Made in China engines.
Any experience to back up that comment? They still have less plastic than strikemaster.
Good stuff Nor Easter. I love this place.
I bought a new Jiffy last year (w/ the tecumseh motor) but I don't know that I would buy one this year...I went and looked at a couple this year but the plastic thing that they have the start switch mounted to is WAY flimsy and what is with that exhaust redirecter thing?!?!? that will get bent/broken the second trip out unless you are extremely carefull with it. And not to get picky but I don't like all the plastic on the throttle linkage either. It may run great and cut holes like a mother (I have never seen one running in person) but I'll stick with (what is now) my old school Jiffy!

That's the thing about these new augers, I haven't seen one in action either, but I'm going to be smart enough to withhold any judgement about them until I do see one in action. Everyone on here is raving about the Solo Strikemaster, yet in mass production they have yet to prove anything.Gimmicks.... I know everyone is going to bash me for this one, but the Automatic Fisherman. I love to set my own hook and hand over hand a fish through the hole, why do I need a pole to do it for me? This one probably is more of a gimmick to those of us who really love our old fashioned tip-ups. They may work, but why?
Gator's Lightweight Battery.
Nothing, as far as I know. At about $600 per battery pack, I would think they'd be plated in gold!I'm just miffed that when I purchased my Gator (first generation) last year, there was talk of a lightweightbattery coming out within a year or so, but it would be pricey at first. Well, I guess that was a substantiated rumor, but the kicker is that the battery is only for GenII Gators....not that I could have afforded a $600 battery pack.BW
I have one of the new Jiffy's, 2nd trip and i busted that retarded quick release contraption. I knew it would break the second i saw it. Hope the rest holds up a lil better. WTH were they thinking? It takes longer to try and slide that cover over the pin then it does to justpull a cotter pin or something.
Chineese blades on the strikemaster name
I don't use my Slush Inhaler with my porty, but I use it and a Slush Box in my wheel house all the time. It sure beats having ice chips all over the carpet melting when it gets warmed up. One product that has me wondering is the Fish Elevator. I have never seen one, but some people swear by them. I haven't lost enough fish at the hole to make me want one.
