  1. 1. Which do you prefer, Pop-ups OR Flip-Over? Why?



Recommended Posts

I have a clam 2000 hut, and very happy with it. Quicker setting it up, than a cube pop out and flyaway parachute hut.

ha this brings back memories from. Fishing with Vince and Hooknlip on LPB before Xmas. We rented the "cube pop out" and had to set it up in a 25kmh wind....lol.. At least the wind was blowing towards shore.Never did have it blow away thou. once setup and iced in it was a diecent hut..No floor though. Made for cold feet after 6 or so hours.

Well, my SubZero might be hard to set up in the wind but after reading some of the tips on how to, I can't see it being much of a problem, anchor the corners before you try to expand it. It is light, roomy, and comfortable with a small heater in it.

 

Some of the flip overs I have fished out of I found were very small and I found the seats hard to get up out of because you are sitting so low (and I am old).

 

If you are not sure which way to go then try fishing out of both for a day then make your decision.

 

For me, portability and comfort were big issues, being able to stand up in it to stretch was a bonus.

A friend mentioned using one of those roll up imitation bambo mats on the ice and that that made a huge difference for keeping your feet warm. They don't absorbe water and they are light and easy to transport.

Love mine, too. The only drawback is if two guys the size of Brian and I were in it with fishfinder, heater, etc...it gets a bit cramped.

The set-up/stability/transportability are great!
