Other than a new dog, I'm going to buy the aqua-vu micro underwater cam.
-
My buddy sold me his Frabill 2-man Trekker, so I'm gonna have a fun time using that on the ice this year along with my new SHOWDOWN unit.
-
Nothing new yet, but once supplies are in the store the wife and I are gonna get us one of them Frabil Fishouflage Ambush DLX ice shelters. Or maybe the Otter Pro XT1200 Lodge . Haven't decided yet.
-
Have me a TB perch rod on its way and plan on buying equipment to start making my own ice rods. Also looking at buying a Jiffy propane auger with my cabelas points even though my ol model 30 purrrrs. If anyone is looking for a underwater camera I would sell my Vexilar scout for cheap. Used maybe 3 times. PM me if interested.

I love my Adventurer ( just switched out the tri pod seats for HT sports chairs ...SWEET n LITE)

That Clam auger plate is on the wish list
-
So far just some Kahtoolu cleats. Maybe a new rod. I like all my other stuff. I'm too darned good at finding stuff that's perfect for my fishing style! :tipup: :tipup: :tipup:

Call me stupid but.. Is that thing a fake or what? I cant find it anywhere else :o
-
Way overpriced if you ask me. I don't see this being a hot seller at all.
As for new toys, my 8" chipper bit crapped out at the end of the last season so I replaced it with a 7" lazer bit. Haven't got to drill a hole with it yet...
-
The new marcum is real. At 1400 bucks i can combo up a 597 bird with gps with an aqua vu micro mounted to the portable pack and still save 500

quick question have you look at them yet in person the fishauflage shanties? they are 300d side panels just a head up that the otter will be a better shanty. but not sure about the customer service of the otter never owned one had a pole break on my frabill 7013 ambush outpost. they sent me a hole shanty free of charge + free shipping to replace the broken pole :o best day and deal yet on a free shanty if you ask me. by the way the warrant and service it threw Plano molding company.. they are good shanty don't let the 900d skirt fool you to buy on on line thought the sides are 300d and the top is thermal on min 300d then blanket layer then 300d but the skirt is 900d just to let you know just to let you know they are good shanties my brother want one lol's that or a shappell wide house ....

Just picked up a FLX-28 ultra pack, FL-20 ultra pack, a FL-18 head unit only to add to a empty ultra pack I already had. will be stocking up on more of the Clam Drop Jigs, some more Merino wool socks, 2 small Clam light bars to use in the hub house, couple sets of replacement blades for the augers (always like to have a new set on hand as a back up), another jig box for the new jigs, the Clam chair, a hammer chisel, and last but not least may be a new house of some type, just don't know which one yet. kind of leaning towards a full thermal nanook or a thermal X2, or bigfoot 4000t hub house.

Marcum LX7 and a pair of Frabill bibs. Of course odds and ends like lures and spoons and jigs and so on and so on lol
-

Just picked up an LX7 in the bargain cave!! Said used but fired it right up no problem and it still had the screen protector on it. Got it for less that what an LX6 would cost new. Other than that just some jigs and such and prolly new Blades for the Jiffy I got used last year.
-
Just picked up a Striker Ice Climate Parka and Climate Bibs. Found a heck of a deal on eBay.

Probably nothing new this year, I got most of my stuff towards the middle of the season last year. I guess if anything it might be a bigger propane tank so my Daughter stays toasty warm and maybe her own camouflage ice rod,lol. Oh and a Go Pro
-
I picked up a 1995 Polaris xplorer 400 atv to help me pull some gear this winter..to bad the oil injector quit working and blew the piston skirt into the crankcases and put a 4 inch hole in it. I put 18 miles on it.ill never buy Polaris anything again.parting it out.

Forgot about my Striker Ice Climate suit ...that's going to be sweet ...and a lil bit of a learning curve on what to wear ...or more importantly what not to wear ...had it all worked out with my blue Ice Armor suit ..saw some posts guys are stating very light thermals and mid layer
-
I bought a Thorne Brothers Quiverstick last year. This year it will be their Power noodle rod with a Wicked 13 ice reel. Both are super sensitive.
-
Nothing brand new so far. But, put a longer skirt on the tip over end of my one man. Also put a chain sewn in to help keep the wind from blowing in. Crossing my fingers !!!! STEVE

also looking at another auger and a nills blade. and a few other little things to go with this stuff... like tackle, rods,so on...
-
Picked up a used MarCum vs625sd last week. I have a thermal top to put on our Yukon, the factory top was replaced under warranty, but it's still in the box ready to go on.
Thinking I need a another setup, 13 Tickle Stick and a 6061 reel, but I may wait for clearance time.
I also need to get a pair of bibs, should have last year while they were on sale
-
I also wanna get one of those tickle sticks from 13...but so far just replaced my 2nd broken jm elite series meatstick...(they haven't held up..). with another type of jm rod..,,replaced lost screw out of air filter cover for my auger., and hastely bought the wrong replacement arm for my showdown,, but it was capable of being modified, so all is not lost.....so, other than a couple new schooley rods.. (best bang for your buck)., I don't think I need anything else... so that's getting off relatively cheap, in my mind..

A snow mobile is my new thing so far this year but also planning on buying an enclosed trailer
-
I'm also planning on buying a new climate suit and some more rods
-

I had the same issue with the JM rods. Try the Temple Fork Outfitters line of ice rods. It's the guy that owned G-Loomis and went out on his own when he sold out to Shimano.

I have one of the 28" ML rods. Going to pick up one of the 26" L for perch. You won't be disappointed.

tfo is not owned by gary loomis of g-loomis as far as i know it is a rod company that let people like loomis endorse there rods like lefty kerh Flip Pallot, Pete Maina, etc .... if they wish to also will aid in the development of the rod and give them a portion for endorsing them... but see this link i believe this is gary's web site not sure? for how many web site and rod companies he has sold lol's???... by the way tfo's are great rods none the less....

I need a snowmobile bad trying to find a used tundra and then would love to get my hands on a marcum825sd
-
Picked up a Esky Z71 auger last year on super closeout, so I'm excited to get it into the ice this year.
I love to get some transportation before the ice gets here, I'm tired of walking everywhere - and will be REALLY tired dragging that Z71! ;D
-
Just picked up a Lowrance Elite 5 HDI with the ice bag and ice transducer. Can't wait to put it through the paces, I am so stoked to hit the ice this winter. :clap: :clap: :clap:
