Hey guys, just getting back into ice fishing and have 500$ I was planning on getting a new auger with but I keep thinking a flasher would be a better purchase. What do you guys think would be a better purchase? I have a hand auger and mainly jig for perch with tip ups out for trout or pike.
Both ..... get a used flasher for $300 and a used auger for $200
I have a hand auger and mainly jig for perch with tip ups out for trout or pike.
I would not leave home without a power auger, especially mid- late season. Do what others already said and get a power auger, then think about the flasher. You said you tip up fish, getting into jigging can be expensive in itself (jig rods, jigs, line. etc). I am not sold at all on bring my makita on the ice to drill my holes, i like it a lot and its not waterproof. Buy a power auger first, maybe find a deal on a flasher. If not wait until next season for the flasher.
Put your battery drill on the auger and go with a flasher.
Get the flasher and you will have to drill less holes
