Post by: slabslayer on October 29, 2014, 09:27:58 PM: Awesome! You'll love it!!

I'm stocking up too. Ordered a new Vex FLx-28 and some new rods for this season. Along with some new lures.

What is everybody else getting new for this year?

Post by: LeeinOH on October 30, 2014, 04:21:11 AM: Need a new auger here too. Never had a problem with the 8" Mora until last year's 16" of ice. Thinking a 4 or 5" would work just fine. Also picked up a Vexilar FL-8. Haven't had one before.

Post by: slabslayer on October 31, 2014, 10:57:39 AM: Just ordered my vex 28 yesterday and can't wait! For augers, I love my Strikemaster auger. It's a 2 stroke I've had for 4 years and never had a problem. It's an 8" and I absolutely love it. I can drill over 150 holes on a tank of gas, and anyone who's fished with me knows I can drill that many in a day! ;D

Title: Re: Gearing up!
Post by: slabslayer on October 31, 2014, 03:59:46 PM: It's the Lazer mag express. This will be my 5 th season on the same blades also. I still haven't had to put my spare set on yet, and I've drilled well over 1000 holes.

Great info slab. I'm going to check one out. Thanks.

Post by: Minnowhead on November 03, 2014, 08:24:12 PM: Buster, fl-8 is perfect. Get used to using it and you'll spend a lot ore time on the ice.

Post by: g on November 04, 2014, 09:41:59 AM: I have the strike master laser mag express and have had it for 10 years plus. Still using my original blades. If the jiffy 4 propane auger would have been available then, that's the one I would choose. Either way, power augers are the way to go, makes drilling multiple holes quicker and easier.
