[coldcreekchris]

showed up on the ice tonite...slick as snot..pulled this lame ass cleat I bought...pulled it over the front of my mucks..and it snapped...gingerly got the other one on..so at least I had one foot covered...between my mucks..recon shelter...ion auger...lowrance sonar and tackle...probs a grand worth of gear.worthless unless you got good cleats....going back to yak trax...does anyone have any testimonials for good ice cleats?

I've got icetrekkers. They are okay. I wouldn't call them "cheap" just inexpensive. You could probably buy a few sets for the price of some yak trax. Haven't let me down yet just not completely sold on the quality. I'll have to abuse them a bit more first

Kahtoola Microspikes gets my vote, they go on and off your boots effortlessly and have great traction on the ice.  They are expensive at $70, but if you don't have to replace them every couple of years they should be cheaper in the long run.

Pretty good info in that thread. Reminds me... I went to a friends rummage sale this summer and he gave me some Simms traction studs for I'm guessing Simms boots... it was 2 bags with about fifteen 1/4" hex head screws in each. Can't imagine what he paid for those

I have Yaktrax.  Kahtoolas are better, but Yaktrax won't tear up a carpeted ice house.

I just opened the package that showed up about a hour ago via UPS containing a pair of ice trekkers. Haven't tried them out yet. Should mention that a person should look on Amazon if they are wanting to buy these kinds of products. Often times, as was the case with these ones, the prices can't be beat. With 2 day shipping to boot. I only paid $36.55 for the pair of ice trekkers.

I have to agree on the Amazon recommendation. I picked up a pair of Korker StormJacks last year on Amazon for $45 and will never go back to "strap on" ice cleats.
