Best Ice Deals!! Lets hear em!

[Mcmich]

Best deal for a milwaukee drill is just about always on Ebay. $115 for the bare tool and either $65 for a 5ah battery or 85$ for a 8ah battery. $190 and you're good to go. This is an increase in price by $30 compared to last season too.

Agree, bought an open box new Milwaukee 2804-20 for $78 dollars last year.  It has a ding on the chuck, other than that it was perfect.  Its a bare tool so the batteries are what can get you.  I found a brand new OE 8AH battery on Ebay for $75 dollars. Unfortunately I did get burned for $60 by a 9AH aftermarket battery.  Worked 4 times then would not take a charge.  Lesson learned.
I can drill a bunch of holes and still use it for my fish finder all day using a 18V to 12V converter.  Converter also on Ebay for under twenty bucks/

MCMICH, could you expand on the 18 to 12v converter?  I do have a lithium 12v on my fish finder, but a backup power source would be a good thing!

Fleet Farm has the Strikemaster 40v battery on sale for $130 plus an extra 12% off with code CHEERS brings it down to $114.40 in store or online with store pickup.

And if you go to the store, check the checkout counters for orange gift card displays, they sometimes have a deal where you get a free $10 gift card with purchase of a $100 gift card.

OTTO, these snap onto your battery,  They make them for other drills besides Milwaukee.  The post connector is the 12V output, make sure it has one of these.  Just find an old cord that fits, cut the end off and wire into finder.  The USB port is only 2-4 volts for phone charging.

Thanks MCMich

Walmart has them for 3-4 bucks. Mine broke, there’s no hinge just thinner plastic that bends and snaps off.

At 4" I'm not sure its going to hold much more than a couple jigs per slot

Yeah... that's the point.  Keep just the necessities on hand in your bibs pocket.

Oh I see. I use a slim silicone box for my jigs in my bib. Holds 100 very secure. I wouldnt want my expensive jigs bouncing around in that box sounding like a can of bolts.. but I guess thats just one opinion. The one I use is 7 x 4 but they make a 5 x 3.75 that holds 60. Lots of companies sell them, clam does too. They are only $10. clam calls theirs "super slim jig box"

Definitely use whatever works for you.  Where do you store your plastics in those style boxes?  I'm going through a lot more plastics than I am jigs and with the style shown above I can keep a couple hundred plastics in different colors and sizes along with jigs in different colors and weights.  Everything I need for panfish all in one box that fits in my pocket.

Amazon Warehouse has a 5 inch Lazer for $58

Sixty bucks for a used auger? Nope

[rdhammah]

a new one is like $65

[FishGut]

Yup. This is an Ice DEALS thread. If it's not new and at least 20 percent off, it doesn't count. (rolleyes: Kids these days...)

Saw a Used Eskimo Stingray the other day. Said it only drilled 10 Holes. Also said it was $399 new. and they wanted $325 for it.  Bass Pro has it for $259.

[jrjach75]

To be fair, Amazon warehouse items are usually new and unused, at least everything I've ever gotten from them has been. It's normally either something somebody returned, or something that came in with a damaged packaging.

I do agree that $60 price tag is not a deal.

[zcm_82]

Agreed. I got my 7" Lazer new at an end of season sale last year (2019) for $64.99.

I have the Micro Revolution 5 Pro and love it. I have used it in open water, but it's definitely easier to use on the ice and that's where I use it the most. I will probably buy another one when they make an upgraded one in HD 😁

I have an older Micro 5w/DVR ..open water will let in more light ...Color seems more prevalent then on ice..I put a big bobber on it and point in straight down and tow it behind the boat slowly  .

When I tried to do the rebate online, there wasn't an option for the micro stealth 4.3. Did I miss it?

[PazzoCorso]

Anyone have a promo code for Scheels's?

My fault, I missed that you got the Micro stealth, not the revolution.
