It's called a crappie coffin. It slides in your ice hole and is basically an ice fishing net. Really cool video and concept they have going on. I ordered one to see how I like it. Curious to try it out. Has anyone heard of, seen, or used this before??
Here's a link to their page:

PS, sorry quackpot, another gadget we will buy!

I saw it this year at the St. Paul ice fishing show, looked cool. The only thing I questioned was how did it work while using vertical swimming lures like jigging raps etc.

I think it'd be useful in very thick ice conditions where you have a "tunnel affect" bringing up hooked fish and losing them as they "bang" the sides of the ice hole.
Here in Ohio, I just dont think it'd be practical or necessarry.

Probably not, but 2 years ago it would've helped me out a lot. When we were fishing on over a foot of Ice. I got it for that once in a decade season.

looks like there could be a issue trying to feed your line and lure through the small hole in the bottom of the net,just sayin,maybe not...........

I'm going to try it. Should be here Tuesday. Just in time for the Ice to melt again. So I'll give it a shot for round 3.

Cool invention too costly for narrow application of only sm jigs id be too worried trying to get a spoon with treble or jigging raps like others mentioned down plus id think that sleeve would up pretty high on lite ice conditions 5in or less unless i didnt see the collapsable sidewall feature to make sleeve shorter
It goes without saying if its anything worth doing might as well do it right

I'll see. I got it for one specific application on a certain lake. If it works great I'll use it more, but I'll know more when it comes this week and I can see it and play around with it.

It should come today. I got it for one place where I fish for big bass thru the ice. I'll never use it on gills and crappie.
Would probably work great for whiskered walleye!!

Yeah thanks I think I will pass on this. John there is a place on the bottom of his thread you can click on to see it. I don't usually have ice that thick, that would leave a bunch above the ice.

Agreed on the thick ice. It would need to be like 2-3 years ago to use. But in that one season if it helps me get a big eye on Berlin or not lose that giant bass it's worth it to me to save 1 big fish.
