What new gear did you buy this season?

[tlzkaasen]

Jeez...Not much so far, but we do have an ice show in Milwaukee this weekend.     I'm sure some stuff will be following me home.

[esox_xtm]

Changing of the guard for me. I'm stepping away from my giant Otter flip over and bought an Eskimo hub (money ahead on that deal). I also sold two gas augers and upgraded to a MKE Mud Mixer / K-drill for pretty much even up. Added a nice assortment of Moonshine Shiver Minnows and some jigging Raps.

C'mon ice! I'll be out somewhere in the St. Germain area this Saturday. Can't wait!

[Stickhick86]

Got me a buddy heater for $68 dollars from the pre blackfriday deal at tractor supply

[Doeslayer]

Few new rods and reels lots of new perch slayi g jigs.... But the most exciting thing I bought was an fl20.... Also picked up an fl8 that has an issue I need to send to vexilar so I can have a flasher for me and one for a buddy

[james]

A 10" ION auger, a Eskimo pop up shelter, buddy heater, a chisel, skimmer, tie downs, jet sled, picks, and a bunch of assorted tackle. All for my son so he'll be off to a good start.

[Spider1]

I told the Mrs that I would probably be on the ice before Christmas so she decided to give me my presents early. A nice set of micro spikes and Striker predator bibs and Jacket! She's a keeper!

[aacosta]

Strikemaster lithium 40v in 8 inch. It arrives today!

[Sandalsnsocks]

Eskimo 43 mako 8’’  Otter XTH pro Lodge thermal, Marcum 485 camera, jet sled, ice magic and ice braid, some tackle rods reels, going out Saturday!

[nhm6408]

Ordered the new Otter XTH Pro Lodge. Hopefully get to try it out next week!

[Kopower]

Frabill Bro flip over, Vexilar FL-18, Fenwick rod and Pflueger President reel, and Striker Predator jacket. Really wasn't planning on purchasing all this, but black Friday and Cyber Monday brought some great deals. Can't wait to try everything out on the ice.

[lefty2053]

I haven't needed anything else for years now. That being said this year I got 2 Jaw Jackers,2 Ugly Stik rods for them and some more jigs. I cleaned out all my Jigs and Lures and I went from 6 boxes down to 3 to save some weight.

[P Meyette]

a new flip over shanty and new ugly stick combo

[TheLionsFan]

Just got my new Jason Mitchell Thermal X shanty. 

Oh ya, a new bottle of oil for my auger.

She knows about MOST of it.  We decided to get serious about it this year now that the kids are old enough to tag along.  This is what I can think of off the top of my head:

Eskimo P1 Rocket 10”
Eskimo Fatfish 949i
Marcum LX-6s
A handful of Tuned Up Custom Rods
10 Arctic Fire tip ups
A sled
A buddy heater
A couple hundred dollars of lures/jigs
A tackle bag, line, hooks, etc.
Some of those interlocking rubber floor things

I’m sure I’m leaving out some stuff; but, that’s pretty much the lion’s share.  We’re really looking forward to ice so we can get this stuff out and use it!

I have the Marcum Showdown 5.6 - works great but have itch for the Hummingbird Ice Helix 7 Chirp GPS G2 - and she sees how much I'm looking at it - cool part she's ok with it - so that's a TRAP!!!  If I buy that - she'll buy something crazy for herself - it's TRAP!!!!!   So what do I do???

Buy it for HER!

Buy it for HER!

I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK!   She doesn't fish, doesn't like fish, doesn't like cold weather, doesn't go outside in the cold....   it's the PERFECT Christmas gift for her to unwrap!

[hole_hopper454]

Nils 6" hand auger and 4 tip downs.  Still debating on ordering a Striker Hardwater suit now or waiting till spring to try to get a better deal.

[massNtrash]

I've got a new custom under the tree that I can't wait to try out! My wife included me in the purchase so she was sure that it was exaclty what I wanted. Also ordered a few more okuma Ceymar 10s, cold snap reel wraps, and a bunch of misc tackle for an upcoming trip. Also considering taking the plunge to mount my helix on a new lithium shuttle.

[slipperybob]

Shimano Casitas MGL...on order.  Heard this was the bomb for affordable lightweight spool.  Would be great for ice fishing baitcaster.

[dap]

Humminbird Ice Helix 5 chirp gps g2 for the hut. Going to keep my troller 2.0 for tip ups and hole hoppin.

Just bought an ICE35! F&F sale for $275. My first flasher, I'm very excited! Also bought some Ice Blue rods, and going to soon place an order for some new fiskas from yourbobbersdown.com. I'm hoping to get out Saturday.

[jacksmelt71]

Ask me if I need a bag.   Reply:  No thanks I was married once.

Two new jigging rods, two new reels, new auger powerhead,  a big box of jig tying supplies, a dozen 1 ounce jigs to make up for what I couldn't tye. New ugly stik tackle bag, enough new jigs to fill three big plastic boxes. A new 12V 18ah battery to replace the 8ah battery that is 10 years old.
Last but not least, tomorrow I pick up my new eskimo 949i shelter.   

I better do the ironing, dishes, clean the toilet, vaccume the floor. Being single has its rewards too.

[MSUICEMAN]

new spud - 2pc clam
new bib/coat - clam ice armor xtreme
new reels - eagle claw inlines
new lures - mostly just a lot of new plastics from mudd butt and contraband baits
new contraption - the ice jager glow cup should be delivered today! excited to try it out!
a couple new rods/reels - 1 clam genz with a nice spring bobber, I have two Jason Mitchell springbobber rods but i'm going to replace the springbobbers with ones I like more, as one of the factory ones already broke. also finally fishing up a custom 24"UL st. Croix blank that I had sitting around.
I upgraded my FL18 propack to a FL 18 Ultra pack due to my battery gauge not working on my propack and the minimal price different to go up to an ultrapack rather than just buying the new battery gauge.
new adjustable foam slip bobbers for minnow fishing.
new to me beaver dam tipups.
finally got a drill adapter and a nice ridged x5 drill, going to give it a whirl with my 5" lazer. may get an extension just so my back doesn't feel it.
almost forgot, I upgraded the tent on my old fish trap pro to a full thermal one, and also added some hyfax runners on the bottom.
