Made another “ art piece” out there today for you though.
Frank you defiled my post
Strikemaster or gtfo!
Nothing "wrong" with it Denny. Great auger. Some great features. I know alot of guys love them. There was something left to be desired for me. Don't get me wrong, it's an excellent auger for what it is. The ergonomics, it just never felt completely right. I don't like the wing handle design. And even with brand new blades, it's nothing compared to how the Strikemaster cuts. It's a whole different animal cutting, hands down. There's been improvements in designs since I got the Ion. I know the new Ion Gen2 has a better design than Gen1 and very comparable to the new Strike, but I haven't used one. I did however have a chance to run the Strike.I never really planned on getting a new auger . Basically, the Ion X was the Cats meow for a while, until I finally tried a Strikemaster. Running one made my decision for me!!Why, you need another Ion Denny?
All set thanks mine is working fine. Hope to move my Jiffy 30 this week.
Yea my 70s vintage Jiffy30 has been sitting in the corner for a few years. Kind of Nostalgic. Maybe it'll find a home someday. They seem the minority these days. I was on a lake the other day that looked to have about 20 or so other groups fishing. Only heard one Jiffy fire up all day. When you hear that roar now, it catches your ear. When before it was so normal you never even noticed it.
Nice artwork but where is the "Prince Albert"?

20 or so other groups fishing. Imagine that? What part of the lake? Don't want your honey hole, just curious?
Hahaha...yea I went there because it's normally a nice lake, nice scenery. Low and behold I figured out the hard way it had a big dose of fall stocking by the "hoards" of people. I reluctantly stayed anyway.Also....I actually had someone walk on, and setup in between two of my traps?.....we had words. He said he fished there earlier in the week and that was "his" spot.... R U effing kidding me? I just can't even believe I share the same oxygen with some of these DB's out there.I could easily have ended up in Belknap County jail.....but I behaved
you starting to convince me on getting the new strike..after this week every muscle was killing me from carrying the beast ..just maybe
When we meet up at the spot soon, you can give it a whirl. Be careful though, you might just like it...lol
that's what im worried about...I have about 500 in gift cards so we will see
Agreed. Part of teaching sportsmanship is the respect of the others enjoying it too. Took my 3 year old out hunting this year and we had talked about going to a spot for 3 days. Finally came time, we got almost to the spot and saw a guy in a climbing stand and told my son we had to find a new place to go. He was not happy about it, but told him first come first serve and that he wouldn't like it if someone ruined his hunt. He smiled and agreed but said what if he gets our deer? Told him that he was smarter than us to get there earlier than us and if he got it than it was his deer not ours. He nodded and we found a new spot to sit. I even though we didn't see anything I felt like he learned something that day
Very well done, jpease! Start em young and start em right. That's quite a concept for a 3 year old, but I think you both deserve a bunch of atta boys for that lesson!
Sorry guys I don't see what the big deal is about speed. My 3 year old ION cut through 50 holes last year of 2 feet of ice one day and went to the second bar. I'm on the original battery. I'm sure they all work fine. At my age I am "Built for comfort not for speed".
