Clam 2000

[IRISH56]

Interested to hear what experiences anyone has had with this shanty?  Looking to buy my 1st - was considering a flip style 1 man but think I'll be better off w/ a 2 man shanty so as not too leave my buddies hanging.  Thanks.   DAN

I would say go w/ the flip-over if you're a mobile angler, or the 2000 is a great bet if you're fishing by yourself most of the time and don't mind waiting the fish out.

I have a clam 2000 and it is nice,  Kinda tight for two guys plus heater and gear.  If you can haul a two or three man flip over go for that, much more room and then you can just pick up and go find the fish.  I like the 2000 because it fits in my Saturn coupe, until i get a truck I will have the clam as my shanty.  No matter what you end up getting remember to get a little bigger than you need, space is never enough no matter how big the shack is.

I have the 2000.  Last year was the first with it and only used it a handfull of times.  With two people and gear it is "cozy" but it seemed to work well for me.  I used it more for a "warm up" place to jig for awhile but I am usually pretty mobile between several jigging holes and tipups outside the hut.  I ended up using a 20/25 gallon rubbermaid bin strapped to the top when pulling.  Bucket, poles, tipips, thermos and heater fit nicely in the bin.  When the hut is set up I kept the bin just outside the door and it was easy to reach out and get what was needed.

i just bought the clam 2000,with the new dome roof,it takes no time at all to set up, except for roof, the x poles almost seem to long....i think it will good one for one person, a lot of room,light,haul it in just about anything...i have a trap scout and 2 man older shanty,that i use when i take the truck....

 I have one and i personaly love it. drill 2 holes put the aqua view in one hole fish outta the other, really isnt that hard to pull a couple feet here and there. A flip up would be better but i like mine
