I'm a big clam fan I have 2 right now the hub is good for a pop up but the XL series I have is the best if your towing it alittle heavy to pull

[Madpuppy]

I'll be the 2nd vote for anything from Clam, I have a Clam Guide and a Clam Base Camp. Love em both!

I am also a big fan of Clam, I have 2 of them, the X2 and the Sleeper. It hard to beat the X2, the poles are beefer that other makes I have seen and there is plenty of room. Here are a couple of pictures of mine. Hope it helps.

[Gillchaser2]

Wow that X2 is really sweet set up.  I narrowed it down today and went and bought a Clam Yukon for $419 and it has the really nice seats. Lasts year model 2009.  I think I will be happy with it.

I have an older Frabill XL twin that is just fine to fish in the only hassle is that plastic seat support in the back, but from what I have seen is that Frabill has improved that to a folding back legs so the problem is taken care of.  Good Luck!

Seconded!

Last year's Yukon.  I may be in the minority, but would not get the TC.  The seats don't move like before and no traplink.  Also the smaller door in the front is a turnoff. 

I got my Yukon last year at Gander for $350.

DX4000 for $399 right now. As mentioned, skiis on it and pulls so easily on a foot of snow. Full floor, plenty of room and tough material. Now they have removable windows so you can replace easily or use as hunting blind (Although who wants a blue blind in the woods  )

Frabill Outpost. They come in 3 different sizes. The middle one is great for fishing 2. Seats 3 comfortably but is crowd for all three to fish. You could even get the six man for under $500.

[augergas]

I don't know if you live anywhere near this guy but I have one of these and they are as good as it gets ina 2 man flip over, sturdy, tons of room and can take wind very well:

got my clam yukon for 400 bucks this year and well i cant complain. its my first shanty and its awesome. plenty of room to fish two guys and even a third guy which i have done. seats are comfortable. easy to keep warm with the buddy heater. sleds got alot of room for gear. for its size doesnt pull too bad with the makshift harness i have on it and well it didnt come with it the counsole is a great add on for 15 bucks

[danerc07]

If your pulling it with 4wheeler or snowmobile I would say the clam denalli II. Ton's of room for two people. If your pulling it by hand through any amount of snow it's a tank, only downfall IMO.

[TheSystem]

if you're not locked into a flip over, check out the Shappell 4000 - when I bringing out the wife or guests you can't beat the room.  folds up easily, skis make it tow like nothing, and the room is unbeatable.  fishes 2 guys like a deluxe room at the Ramada, 4 fit as comfortably as most 2 man shelters.  two doors make entry a lot easier without moving guys.  Two trap doors for holes measure 3' long alone each opposite side of the shanty and allow for 4 holes each, room for jigs, cameras, vex, easy.  Cost about $300

fish trap x2 one of the best
