i buy whats out on the market with what my wallet says i can buy-10", PARENTS, PLEASE TELL YOUR KIDS NOT TO RUN THRU MY FISHING AREA AND WATCH WERE YOUR WALKING WHILE ON THE ICE. TY
I never notice the transducer from my Marcum in a 8" hole, now the float on a Vex was a problem. Hang the ducer along the side and you wont have problems.
Do away with the Float and use the the screw eye. It works much better.

Yes...(Image removed from quote.)
If the mfrs. made a 14" or 18" would that still be the case?
Yes...
If I was in Winipeg and had a shot at fish like that I'd have a 12 in.
Here is a vid of a guy in NY landing a 46 inch muskie. The hole looks like a 6", no more than 8"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDPmAwdJFTgHere is another jiggin - 6" holehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnp4calMs8UNo need for 10" IMHO
I have yet to catch a fish that wont come up an 8" holes.
I am happy to see the thread has stayed civil This is the age old "which is better" debateThe pros and cons have been laid out clearly by each campThis brings us to a personal choice on the matterI started with a 6" hand auger and never caught a fish that would not fitThis may mean I am not the best fisherman I then purchased an 8" gas auger because the price was rightI still have not caught a fish that wouldn't fitSome of my friends have 10" gas augers so I have fish that size tooAnd still every fish fit just fineI guess I am just not a good enough fisherman to need the "extra" roomPirk
