I've got an Eskimo "Barracuda". Went to a meet and greet with my buddy Lurch (may he rest in peace) a few years back with some Fishontario guys. Brutally cold out on Miner's Bay. My auger would not run in the -30 temps. Who came to the rescue but somebody with a jiffy. For style points a like my barracuda, but to do it all over again the jiffy seems more reliable. Mi auger wouldn't start until the sun came over the horizon and heated it up a bit.
