Beats Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 HI, after talking to a few ppl here on OFC, I am leaning towards buying a Fin-Bore Micro 6" auger. I can't seem to find one in London and I have found them online with quite a range in price. First off, is there only 1 model of the Fin-Bore micro? I have only ever seen it as a 6", is there an 8" version? Also, sometimes it seems to be referred to as a Fin-Bore III micro but usually just a Fin-Bore micro.. is it all the same model? Lastly, anyone know a place to pick one up in the London area or, if not, where I could find a decent on-line deal that won't be a ton of cash for shipping?

irishfield Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) They had them last year... but I just did an on-line search of CTC ice fishing and it's not there. $83.94 at Lebarons on-line catalogue $89.95 at the fishin hole https://www.thefishinhole.com/index.cfm?pro...791&siteMap Edited January 7, 2009 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beats Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 They had them last year... but I just did an on-line search of CTC ice fishing and it's not there. Yeah, that was my first attempt. Tried 2 different stores in town and they had Normark augers but not the micro. THe online selection doesn't show the micro either...

joonmoon Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Are there any local bait and tackle shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Innisfil Bait and tackle sells them for $110. Looks like the original is a 6"... now the "NEW" FIn-bore micro III is available in 4.5/6 and 8 inch http://www.livebaitandtackle.com/products.php?cat=344 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beats Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 THere's a few around. I looked at Angling Outfitter's (near Woodstock) which is the best (IMO) and didn't see one there... didn't try the smaller shops. I guess that's the obvious next step. Usually Angling Outfitters has anything you could want. SO when I didn't find one there, I just started thinking I was going to resort to online shopping.

I'll be checking that out. EDIT: the 4.5 and 8" doesn't actually say "micro" just that it's new with a telescopic handle... wonder what the differences are?

Beats Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Sent an email to livebaitandtackle.com asking what the differences are and the size comparison. Hopefully they reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
