MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
What's the advantage of a lazer mag with the regular blades?
Thanks, Layne. Well, the one I am getting is 8.25" to be exact. I have heard twice as many negatives about 10" than 8" augers. Whatever works for ya though. I can't see many fish not landing out of an 8 1/4" hole. Should be plenty big enough. After agonizing for the past week I decided on keeping the Magnum when it gets here. I talked to a rep from where I bought it and he said he has used the magnum and lazer and likes them both. He said that magnum wasn't that noticibly slower and the blades last a lot longer. He has an Eskimo with a chipper blade and hasn't replaced it yet. He said people with lazers (and who use them a lot of course) usually change their blades once a year. not a huge deal really. I wont even use the power auger for the whole season, just when the ice gets over 8" or so.
Gee...I wish I saw that. Seems like a smoking deal too. I wonder if I can cancel my magnum order for a lazer mag. I am thinking not since I just received a tracking number. I am not a speed demon but I don't want to sit there drilling for 30 seconds or more while a lazer mag would do it in 10. I have seen good reviews basically for both. I dont fish in sandy dirty lakes ever. Is the Magnum really that slow? I did read that the Magnum blades last a long time too, which was a selling point for me.
