Skipper if IDI Gear (Arctic Armor) is at the show remember to ask them if they plan to make a jacket with a removable hood. So people with snowmobiles-ATVs can wear there helmets( a requirement by law in many areas.
   Enjoy yourself and promote Ice Shanty.

 Mr.Clean-Steve

IDI says that they do not make a removeable hood jacket and there is not one in the works. It appears that the hood is very compact and I think it could be tucked away and should not cause a problem. He also said that an alteration shop could remove the hood for $5 to $10.

Thank you Skipper,
   I was just thinking of the thread you and I went back and forth on the features-problems with Arctic Armor. You were-are planing to buy an ice fishing suit. This was back in late October. You got a laugh out of my comment about liking Arctic Armor's two piece design as it was less colthing to remove if you had to release a brown crappie.

I'm not 100% positive, but on the Clam site, they have Scout canvases on clearance if you just need a canvas...not sure about one with a D-Door though.. ???

See! Doen't second guess! Unless it's a regular item at regular price. I got a clam x suit for $99 this year from clam and the gloves for $40 at gander! I figured I saved so much on the suit I could pay full price on the gloves! Two days after I put in my order with clam they were out of the dicontinued suit. Funny thing is all the shops I have been to have the old suit on the shelf for $349.

Is Cabela's there displaying their new panning camera by chance? If so, what are your thoughts on clarity?

Compare the Otter's new canopy to the Frabils canopy. Which one is more water proof after a years fishing and cold weather durable? Which sled is better durability wise?

Thanks guys,

So  how many new members have you signed up ?

Swung by the booth and it was funny, they seemed more interested in keeping the chat on the site going than they were talking or engaging the people coming by the booth.

The expo was great. Lots of new portables. The pop-ups were the newest and biggest things. And frankly, at $139 for a 3 man pop up, it took all my restraint not to buy one. My current Frabill cost me around $300 new. I think I'd sell it in a minute to grab one of the new pop ups.

I also loved a new semi-swimming lure from Lindy called the "slick jig". What was cool about it is that it's weighted to use live bait off the back and when you give it a tug, it shoots out to the side and comes back to the middle. Not unique? Maybe, but it didn't act like an airplane jig or swimming jig. Way less heavy and complicated. I really liked them and plan to use them on 'eyes as soon as the lakes freeze here in MN. I wished that they came with a hint of glow, but I guess the action will bring in fish. I grabbed the last one in 3/8oz. size that they had. They were flying off the shelves of Lindy and Reeds. Something to look for this winter.

A big shout out to Frabill for handing out UL ice rods to the little ones at the show. "My First Frabill" rods were given out as kids passed by along with drop weights to some lucky adults. Some great deals on shacks and great ideas to get the glands salivating.

I hope you all have a great show. See you on the ice.

So I did buy a few things.  I got a Stony Legacy rod case.  Holds 8 rods and lots of gear.
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/dcso3009/fish/DSCN0671.jpg)
Also a Lure Lighting light for my Vexilar.  It takes the place of one of the knobs on the side to hold it on the pack and connects to the battery.  A push of the button and the light is on until released.  A little overkill for what I need, but a great add on.

(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f109/dcso3009/fish/DSCN0673.jpg)

I also got a Ram Mount for my GPS for the truck and 4wheeler, some Rapid Pole Slide Clips for the Yukon, and a Chubby darter in the new holographic pattern.  All good stuff.

Also for a friend I picked up a set of Vexilar Cold Snap bibs, 2 jig rods. 2 rod holders, and a Bikini Ice Fishing calendar signed by the 2 girls at the booth. 

I'd love to go back, but work and hunting calls.  I work 12 hrs today and am taking a guy that is deploying to Iraq on a hunt on Sunday till Wednesday with the ML.

I was wondering if you could maybe ask Clam Corp about what they had in mind for seating in their Fish Trap shacks in the future? I bought the Guide series a few years ago that had the folding swivle seat that slid back and forth and loved it. I have been kinda dissapointed in their selection lately. Still love their shacks.
Thankya, Thankya!!!

Yep, I have used them to catch shiners for bait before.

Dont knock them until you try them. I thought they were a silly gimmik until I gave one a shot.

This is awsome, for those of us that can't make the show---even a chat room.

Two things:Please tell Don at Wilcraft I said HI.
               Stop by Strikemaster and tell them "YOU CAN SHARPEN LAZER BLADES."

Keep up the good work Skipper(met you last year at the show)---Now I'm gonna be on the puter all night watching this thread.

Thanks  Fran 8)

Not knocking them , really. I just think they may be a little light weight for our fish up here.
I can see using them to catch ciscoes up here, but we don't have Gills, Perch, Rock Bass etc.
I can't see them holding up to Lakers, Whitefish or Pike though.

Skipper,
Would you go back and talk with Len for me and maybe take your laptop over and Show him my 3rd Annual The Gathering thread for Michigan. I have yet to get in contact with him as I have had a busy fall. We acctually had guys show up to our event last year using Marmish rods and showed the system to others. I am curious if he would be interested in a donation to our Event again this year. I would like him to see the way we are giving out prizes this year. They are an awsome system and had I not spent 6mo layed off this year I know I would have a few in my arsinal.
Thanks
Brian

Yeah, the rod is super thin and silver. The competition series has a different spring indicator too.

Skipper, if you ever get down during the hardwater season to Illinois to see your relatives let me know and I`ll take you out fishing. Like I said keep up the good work.

Skipper-Two Fish Tommy,
   Thank you for the daily reports,photographs and being our information collectors on the various products and companies represented at the show.
   I was surprised to see long time Ice Shanty sponsor Fish 307 at the show. They must feel it will reap them on-line sales in the mid west.
  Back on page 1 or 2 of this thread some one asked if you could try one of Jiffy's new augers to see how easy they start ,etc. the answer was not possible. I have a suggestion the shows organizer should have a fenced in area outside the building so it would be possible to start up augers. I do not own a gas power auger but assume they operate similar to a snow blower ,you can start the engine but not engage the actual drill until depressing /pulling a switch of some type.
  Keep up the good work and do not forget to do a little brosing/shopping of your own.
  Steve

I know that statement is a joke. But thought neither of you or others attending the show had the opportunity to try out the new augers.

Good job guys! It's been fun reading along with you guys during the show. Hopefully I'll be able to find the time to get to syracuse for the NY show. Next year you should think of transmitting live from the show with skype or something with interviews from the sponsors asking questions from members in real time or show some of the demos. Publicity like that I'm sure would impress our sponsor sites and keep them coming back. Thanks again its' been fun.

Strike Master had some good deals on clothing. I bought a jacket with thier logo on it for $20. I purchased one of thier fleece zippered sweatshirts for only $5, bad part was they only had size large. I still should of bought all of them up and sold them on eBay.
Whats the deal with Thorne Bros.? They had one of those snap in blade covers for a strikemaster auger and the guy told me it was $42???? I put that sucker down quick and went back to the strikemaster both a purchased it for $25. A buddy of mine got a good deal on St. Croix legend rods. Two for $80 and two free hats from the manufacturer's booth when he showed them that he bought them. Christen Brothers brandy booth was a disapointment! We entered to win a free pop-up and they let us have a free shot of brandy, but when we went back she remembered us and said that you already had your shot. She said, only one shot per person....  :'(

Skipper-Two Fish Tommy,
   Gentlemen thank you for the Photographs and reports these past few days. I have my plans made to attend the Syracuse,NY. show so this thread was a teaser for me.
  Ditto on the Ice Castle photos they are some sweeeet looking trailers,may you get many years of service from yours and make many good memories in it.
  Also thanks for promoting this website looking at the membership number at the bottom of home page,it appears we gained over a hundred new members in the last two days.

Thanks for pointing that out Steve, I was wondering about that. Skipper and Tommy did a great job for us! I have to be honest, I was a little depressed knowing I couldn't be there with them, it's a great show and it would be fun to meet some of the members face to face. I look forward to watching the Syracuse show from afar as well.

  The membership numbers are going up rapidly. I see you are down in North Carolina do you ever get enough ice to fish through in the Smokey Mountains . I realize you may have relocated from a colder area and still travel north to ice fish.
