Best sight fishing flip tent ?

[rabcon]

I am in the market to buy a new tent, I have the X2 clam but for early ice it is way to heavy to drag by hand. I would be fishing the bays and would like to site fish. My X2 is not good for that because of the lite colored gray fabric. I was thinking about the clam trmal Nanook. Does the thermal fabric block out the light? Or I was all so looking at the Frabill Commando 1 person. Not shure if the thermal is really needed. It is more important to me to see down the hole. Any ideas ?

Just look for the blackout material on the inside

Take a look at some of the Otter flip overs.  I have one and I sight fish out of it quite a bit, its not always the perfect solutions but it still allows you to be mobile but when you are really on em I drag out the permanent.

Frabill trekker series is a great flip over. I have had 3 tents before this and this is my favorite by far. Great seats and very mobile by hand or sled.

I have a Frabill one man the material is black and you can cover/blackout the windows and it is dark as midnight in there, weight 57lbs.

I have a Frabill Trekker that pulls well, is uninsulated and black.  Seats are heavy but you can leave them behind.  Big and roomy.

the clam kenai works great and it only weighs 50 lbs
quick set up also.. also the older pro's still have the black top.

Thanks for the input, I just got back from Grander Mnt. $449 for the Trekker DLX with a travel cover. It was lighter than the Pro and Cheaper. Trekker at 87 lbs. and the Pro was 98 lbs. Now going to add ski.
