Got some new Lindy Wally Talker jigs.

Bionic Ice Line. 

13 Descent ice reel, some Jammin Jigs Tungsten jig assortment and a Shakespeare ice rod for my boy for Christmas. But I want the same reel, too.

[RyanW]

Milwaukee M18 Fuel (1200lbs) for my 8” Lazer.
Another TUCR Precision Noodle (30”).
Shimano Sedona 1000 for my TUCR Bullwhip.
~20 more Fiskas tungsten jigs in sizes 3-5mm.
Bug Luggage box for my Fiskas.
Components for a battery box build so I can run LED’s and usb gear.

I’ll probably end up rounding off my Fiskas collection before the season starts (I still need a few dozen). The new #3 Rippin’ Raps from Rapala look very promising and I’m sure I’ll end up with a couple of those also.

 As usual, I really have no need to add anything.

And also as usual, before the year is over, I'm sure I will add several things.

[mi500]

I have a Milwaukee 2704 drill and a Eskimo sierra flip over waiting for ice this year.   Can’t wait for that water to thicken up. 

[bootstrap]

striker ice jacket and bibs for myself and GF. resisted the urge to buy more jigs and lures several times. I think i am getting a flasher for xmas, first one ever.

[ryguy337]

[slipperybob]

I just added Marcum M1 Lithiom Ion...X 2...

online buying is my crutch...

[Jim F]

I added a few small things this year




Also a Helix7 Gen2 Chirp sonar for my boat and I got the ice bag and Chirp transducer for it as well for this winter

Got the Clam plate for my drill auger too

All new lures for ice fishing as some ***** decided to rob my boat this summer of almost of my rods, reels & tackle
including the box that had ALL of my ice fishing gear in it. Home owners paid off,
 but trying to remember 25+ years of lure collecting is difficult

[Big Dude]

I also bought a Frabill Ifloat suit. All these great deals almost came with a free divorce lol

[burkdog24]

I bought an Eskimo HC 40 propane auger. I think I'm about to pull the trigger on an Eskimo 6120i this year as well!

[Monticatgeek]

Kenai Pro Thermal Stealth and some LED strips to rig up on a dimmer switch. Got a handful of Kender's tungsten jigs too. Come on first ice!

you won't need the led strips as the Kenai Pro Thermal Stealth come with the light bar and battery bracket. you can still get a dimmer and just wire it into the wire on the light bar. I did this to my legend when I had it. I have the Kenai Pro Thermal Stealth myself. I did not add a dimmer to mine thou.
plan is to run this house a season or two then sell it off and get a new one.

[geo315]

I bought an Eskimo HC 40 propane auger. I think I'm about to pull the trigger on an Eskimo 6120i this year as well!

I also have the Eskimo hc40. Bought it for last season. Only got to use it a few times.  However, I love it. No gas mixes to deal with. No leaks in the truck. Believe this, I was using an old super sixty flasher till this summer when I sprung for a Helix 7  for Bass fishing.   It has a flasher mode that I intend to use for ice fishing. Geo.

[slipperybob]

I've come home after work and there's this box by the door step...it's so light, I felt like I might be missing something.

Brought it in and opened it to find my order from FishUSA.

I'm impressed, at how light the Marcum Lithiom Ion pack is.

[Duncan77]

I picked up a 32 inch Tuned up Custom Fusion Rod, Clam Legend XL Thermal (Cabela's model) , and a FLX-20 for My son (Was going to get the FLX-28, But the Pro View Transducer sucks).

[desmobob]

I ordered a new 8" Eskimo Mako to replace my old OPE Magnum III auger (which I plan to restore), one more Jawjacker, and a selection of tungsten jigs.  Good to go!  Bring on the ice!

Tight lines,
