Just ordered a couple of these for Christmas presents. One for the wife and one for my stepson.
I first saw them at the Anchorage Alaska Sportsmans show. It was springtime so I figured I would wait for winter to get a couple of them to test.
The seemed much more robust than my JawJacker.
The base is more solid.
I am going to try them out and will report back with the results. So far I think these are going to work great and the quality seems really good.
I haven't tested them on the ice yet but I sure will after Christmas.
Supposedly a 90% lip hook rate.
Designed and assembled in Alaska.
Anyone use these who can post up a report?
This is a copy of the same post I put in the general section.
Looking for the opinion of some Alaskans on this Alaskan product.

They look and feel plenty rugged for the cold weather I know the jaw jacket has broken on me from the cold before. Probably have to tweak some things but what's new With ice fisherman and there gear.

That's what really sold me is they seem much more Skookum than the JawJacker.
Well that and the made in Alaska part!
I hope they work as advertised.

I think the guys that make them live down your way.  They set up near my shack last year for a few days and had great success with them.  They were showing them off in the lodge and they looked like they would work just fine.  From what I could tell, they are made by a couple of guys from Alaska that love to fish and they tested them out on some pretty nice size lake trout and burbot.
