Thanks for the input. I thought about taking both augers out there but with all the other stuff I have, I don't really want to be lugging around 2 augers. I've got a Mora but I've heard the Lazers cut alot quicker so I'll be upgrading. I'm just kind of torn between the 7 or 8 inch. The northerns where I fish rarely get over 10 pounds. But just watch....the second I drill a hole too small is when I'll catch a 20 lb plus northern. The reason why I'm thinking of the 7 inch is because it cuts quicker than the eight.
