Anybody seen these yet? Been seeing this lately and its an interesting concept, but I don't know.

uh so where is the real product in that video? And what the heck is double elastic technology? = rubber bands x 2

Finally what's going to stop a fish from topping the unit over. Then who sits with a laptop, coffee mug, and on a seat cushy with a blanky on bare ice with a puddle next to them? Clearly I've forgotten the whole auger and ice fishing rod concept and moved onto the new millennial "smart" phone lifestyle.

Yup, he looks like a real ice fisherman alright. AKA as "what to do with a wire hangar when yer bored".

That thing looks dumber than a home-made radio. Probably why they have the comment section turned off
in the video.

It looked "different" to me, but didn't want to criticize until I heard more... LOL

Isn't this the tip up that McConaughey was using in his Lincoln commercial? I cant remember if the one he used had DET and that sweet Z Frame design?

FreshwaterPhil · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 29, 2021, 02:05 PM »

Useless contraption. Legalized weed here likely had it's part to play in the design.

Rebelss · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 29, 2021, 02:14 PM »

But...but....it's only $27!!

Just wait 'til ya see their new depth finder, using their SOS* Technology!

it gets better

can you imaging having to set up a handful of these in freezing temps.

DR.SPECKLER · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 30, 2021, 01:04 PM »

How does it work with no snow on the ice?how does it stay upright even in the wind?weird little gadget.

missoulafish · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 30, 2021, 01:08 PM »

Every video has the base buried in snow and ice, assuming this is because it would tip right over if a fish of any size was hooked....

That's cuz when the fish get a look at it, they'll die laughing and float to the surface.

What a POS................goo d for kids LOL.

IceSavage · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 30, 2021, 08:41 PM »

Its neat to see something different I suppose.
Not sure what the need is with its functionality? Not to be rude ...but I picture my grandfather showing me this as a old ice fishing toy from back in the day and him saying see this was before the tip up lol.
May be great for kids starting out?

DR.SPECKLER · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 01, 2021, 05:36 AM »

I can picture a guy that uses those things owning one of those jiffy motor mobile.neither are practical.the tipup would suck with no snow on the ice and the jiffy mobile would suck with snow on the ice.

Why would you want to complicate ice fishing,can't imagine setting that thing up with cold hands.

They could care less about ice fishing. They've obviously never done it. They want $$$$

think about with wet cold hands!

Sharkbait22 · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 01, 2021, 11:59 AM »

Any set line that has the spool above the water is useless if it's cold outside. The line is just going to freeze in the ice and pretty quickly in the north.

missoulafish · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 01, 2021, 01:23 PM »

Can you image how well that thing will freeze to your hands if you have wet hands and real cold weather? Gonna be lots of skin stuck to that thing.

Rebelss · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 01, 2021, 01:34 PM »

Maybe the next one they'll have will be 'lectrically heated and plug in.

Im still waiting on a light saber auger...
