Agreed! If you need any parts, I've got the contact information to the manufacturer in Toronto. They can supply any part for very cheap....like 50% below retail. it looks like you caught a cat RC .. so far so good i'd say , if that augers got the balls to make thru the hard wood floor i want one , i am just checking for my self here and i realy like your new hut , can you tell me how big your living room is so i can compare it to mind ... lol As far as the living room, I suggest checking with the wife and asking her first if her friends are coming over...it can (has) create a bit of a situation Hut dimensions are: Height=68 inches Width=58 inches It looks perfect for two people, tackle and a couple pops. The auger is also extendible...I've only bottomed it out once and that was in far north Alberta. It's extremely light and easy cutting. Just like WD said, i've yet to find anything better for lightweight, cutting and portability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I face them down now that I know....these things work like a charm and I can't wait for a big laker to start peeling line off as I run like a madman and trip all over my own feet and spill my beer and throw my gloves 30 feet in some random direction.

It's warmer and dryer with a "Buddy" heater in a clam fish trap pro... It's flippin cold in the boat in Nov/Dec....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Last winter I stumbled upon a deadly jigging technique for lakers and I'm ready to unleash it ASAP! It involves jumping as high as you can while you make a big upward sweep of the rod (the longer the better). I don't think I actually caught a fish with that technique, but it quickly scared off all the people that tried to park themselves right next to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
