Added a eskimo quick fish 2 shanty last year. And so far for this year I added an aqua vu 715c underwater camera after watching a few video reviews. I'm sure a few people on here also have them so I was hoping for some real world reviews. What's everyone else plan on adding to their arsenal this year?
-
Planning on getting a striker float suit. Got some new rod and reels. Wife got an ion auger. Can't wait 2 get out there
-
Nice! I have the eskimo mako auger but was looking at the ions let me know how you like it!!
-
I got the AquaVu Micro 2 for this season. Looking forward to hole hopping with that puppy.
-
Just picked up a Cabela’s spud bar today. Really needed one to be able to get out early!
-
I got a Shappell Fx200 right at the end of last year, this year I picked up the Shappell Fx100I, hoping all the factory fixes show up so that I can use it this season. Leds, switch panel, Milwaukee power source so I can just carry tool batteries to power my auger and tent, also a homemade UV cup to mount in the flipover. Striker Predator bibs and jacket. A 24" Jason Mitchell meat stick, the Radioactive Pickle rod, a few different brands of fluro and mono to try. Some Eurotackle Z-vibers and spoons, Pk flutter spoons, and some Energized Outdoor tungsten will be added to the collection. I went big this season but I agreed to and sold some of my spare tools and outdoors gear.
Might get a spare auger head, and still researching gloves but those are the only other things I would consider adding this year.

Glad to hear that. They are a must

Restocked the jig box with tungsten.. then I had to buy a bigger jig box to hold all of the new jigs.... ordered a clam auger conversion plate for my drI'll. Shopping for plastics today. Where can I buy 4 inches of solid ice to fish on?
-
Clam plate rigid drill with two 4 ah and one 9ah octane battery, pair of mucks attic ice boots, ice armor clam ascent float parka, tickle rod and 13 fishing descent ice fishing combo

My wife asked what I wanted for Christmas so I told her I had pretty much everything I need but I could use an Eagle Claw ice rod case. It was delivered yesterday but I ain't allowed to open it until Christmas! :'( ;D ;D
-
I’m planning on picking up a couple more rod and reels, have a ton of lures and plastics on the way already, and really thinking about biting the bullet on either the strikemaster or jiffy electric auger but I feel safer with a gas auger. Heck I may just buy a new shanty while I’m at it.
-
I got two Clam Arctic Warrior tip ups with super cheap combos, a new jigging combo, and some tungsten. Spent the money, now bring on the ice!
-
Picked up a few Fiskas and CSJ jigs and a new charging light. Went to stock them in my box(s) and was thinking "you really needed more jigs?" ::) Like my fly fishing: I take out hundreds of flies that I have tied and use the same half doz. 90% of the time.
-
I don’t know why I buy new jigs. I don’t need them, but I buy them. Lol
-
;D we're men when its ice or open water if I'm within 10 miles of a tackle shop I gotta stop n buy something
-
After 50+ years of ice fishing, I've got plenty of gear.... way too much, but for this upcoming season I want early ice, good friends, good health and a tug or two on my lines every time I venture out to drill holes.

I plan on implementing my new bait transporter........he’s 7 :tipup:
-
My plan for new gear this year is to add another Eagle Claw inline reel, some don't like it but once I cleaned and oiled it it works like a charm, and some more jigs and another tackle box to put them in. So far I'm up to three tackle boxes so why not upgrade to four. ;D
-
;D almost a quote from jaws...........your gonna need a bigger sled
-
Just got serious about gear last year. Added a couple in line reels, a Marcum M5, picked up a barely used Shappell 3000, and this year I'm picking up an Ion auger. Got a bunch of Rapalas also. Would love an LX9, but I need to eat too. Oh, also stole a new pair of Artic Ice Muck Boots. I say stole, because I got $50 in discounts. It's all coming together save some good ice yet.
-
Just added a frabill ice hunter rod, next up is some new jigs.
-
Welcome to Iceshanty Koypoling . Or should I say the addiction . LOL !
I picked up a couple poles , jigs , ice anchor tool to go with a new 20 volt drill and a Striker Float Suit I stole off the return rack at Cabela's last spring . Now if I could just buy a productive hole in the ice to park everything over , I'd be all set ! :woot: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish:

I have the XL Jet Sled, if I run out of room I'm going to have to get another sled and pull them in tandem. ;D

Just got my first flipover it’s used but was a great deal and can’t wait to finally not be the guy who has to be out in the wind all the time

Then you could be just like your “buddy” on the “other” site!
LMBO!!!!! ;D

That'll NEVER EVER happen. Actually I have a plan for a bigger sled if and when I run out of room. I'm going to get a ten or twelve foot john boat, take out the seats, and build compartments for my gear.
-
LOL! Now where did you ever come up with an idea like that???!!! ;)
-
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I don't know, it could've been a spin off of a friend's operation dingy. :)

Just put together my clam plate

Chris,
I put a open end hook on the back of my sled and at times will pull 2 different sleds to give older fisherman a break...don't count on it little perch :whistle:
Got new cabala's muck boots this week, seems nice. Also bought around 24 new tungsten jigs.
