Any really good new gear?
« on: Jan 15, 2007, 06:08 PM »
Just wondering if anyone has picked up anything brand new on the market as far as ice fishing gear goes and your humble opinion on it.

I got a Vex FL20 for Christmas...not dramatically different from other Vex's, but it is a huge improvement over the Zercom Clearwater Pro that is now my backup / secondary flasher (for the wife or a friend who may come along).

I also picked up the Nature Vision Pack Shack this year.  It isn't very heavy duty, and is kind of bulky, but the chair is nice and wide, and it is a light, easy way to get out of the wind.

I got a new Clam Yukon, a Vex FL8 ultra pack and 2 nature vision jigging tip ups.  I have not had a chance to use them yet.  When i do, I will let you know.

I am really enjoying my new FL-20 Ultrapack.  Clear, crisp resolution down to -10 degrees so far.  I like the Autozoom Mode and the flat-screen monitor. 

I also have a set of those Artic System gloves.  Very nice for jigging and a good one-two punch for heat retention in my fingers and hands.

The Frabil Tip-up Sirens are pretty sweet too. No more missed flags, just because you can't see them!

Just got an Automatic Icefisherman at Gander Mountain. Will be trying it out in about a week and a half. Will be sure to post results from it.
