Almost pulled the trigger but read some poor reviews on the trekker durability and Frank’s wanted to charge $25 shipping for a set of bibs, so still no float bibs in my Arsenal yet.

I can speak to the bobs, but I have the jacket and I am very happy with how well it held up.  I wear it about every day, and while fishing.

I have the trekker bibs ...NO ELASIC on the side ..hip/side of rib area..fit like cheap snow bibs ..got them for early and late ice as they are 60 g of insulation ..my recommendation for theTUGistheDRUG is the Ice Runner bibs 100g of insulation  and float ..hard to beat that price ..and 100g is a good all around weight/gram of insulation..going up and down in your base layers will cover a variety of temperatures

Yeah I read on here that the seams and knee areas wore out. I have an Expedition Anorak for cold temps so not too concerned about it. Just got my ice runner expedition late last year and so far I am impressed with the quality but their shipping costs held me up on that but too. Will check it out and advise if I do get them. Appreciate the guidance.

Any humminbird helix deals yet?

Not sure if its a deal but I've grown tired of working with small screen on my GPS so I caved and snagged a Helix 5 Chirp Gps Combo 3 about 2 weeks ago.  $279 with free ship from Hodges Marine.  Up to $295 today.  Budget another $80 for the Lakemaster chip.

Did you get the extra set of blades with it ? Eskimo had a bad run with blades on the Eskimo and ION last season. So should your auger not cut on its first out ...call Eskimo they will ship you out a free set . Note you have to call ...if you try and do a warrantee claim you are unable due to lack of a serial number.

I did read that and checked blades. They are razor sharp and I got a serial number to register the warranty so I think I got a 2021/22 model. Now just need some ice!!

Teach I Hope I didn't mislead you but it wasn't the ice setup.  I just wanted the GPS function and the Lakemsaster functionality.  See unit below.  Also, there wasn't a discount code or anything.  Looks like its on back order now so maybe the price just fluctuates.  They had 5 in stock when I ordered it.  Wish I could help you out :-\.

Where is the serial number located ? FTR my buddies were both sharp ..not sure what the actual issue is/was ..after he added/replaced the included blades ..he was off to the races .

Blades would crack in half - heat treat issue if I properly recollect...
