Clam Legend XL-- 1/2 open mod?????
« on: Jan 09, 2022, 08:13 PM »
Guys/Gals,
      I have a Clam Legend Thermal. There are times while fishing that I only want it 1/2 way. Using it like a windblown, but I haven't seen a way to do this with the clam shelters.

Has anyone made a modification that will allow this 1/2open idea? On my Frabills they always had a small hook assembly that would allow this type of function.

Any and all information is greatly appreciated.


Best Regards, JBDekes

I don't have that shanty but I assume all you need to do is run a spreader pole that stops you last piece that you flip over from setting in place. You an buy clips and cut a piece of conduit to length. Hope that makes sense.

Seen some creative PVC pipe with some T-fitting  customized ..I have a two Frabills..with the latch on the corner end pole supports..That a little more time consuming to replicate. If you can loacte some C-clips

Hard to find the C Clips ..but these may work with some creativity

Leave the back pole in or copy frabill. Shouldn't take long if you have a drill and a grinder

you should have pole number 101074 it should of came with the house when you bought it. you loosen the bolt and the pole lets the back frame stay open is a half way open position.  the other frames then rest again that creating a wind break. if you don't have the pole you can order it from Clams website at this link : https://shop.clamoutdoors.com/rear-spreader-pole.html#181=422
