Help with flipstyle shack selection


rod bender

Question

I know this is an age old question but I'm still searching for the answer. I've got the fish trap guide, Otter cabin, Eskimo Quickflip II and a few others to choose from. I've also heard that Scheels carries a Polarsport that is similar to the Otter. True?????? Help me out with this choice please. Any pros and cons on any or all would help.

Rod Bender,

My vote would be to go with Shoremaster. They have quality products and the one thing I really like about their shacks is the longer rubberized apron for holding the canvas down on the ice. Depending on what model you purchase they have double doors and I believe all models have windows. With all that in mind their prices are very competive. These houses are designed by fisherman.

i have a F.T. voyager and am very happy w/it. i can get 3 guys in it 1 hole each and have no prob. i like the level bench which saves alot on being shoulder to shoulder.also it is a little lighter than the otter w/ the heavier sled although the otter probably tows behind a atv or sled better but i did'nt like the raised front end . you've got lots of choices out there but most will suit your needs hope i helped.

I looked at all of them and decided on the Otter Magnum Lodge. It has super durable canvas, an awesome tub, good headroom, room for two, easy take-down/set up, and made in the USA. It may be a little more expensive, but I will have it for years! Just my opinion and 2-cents worth.

How much are the otter houses? I am looking for a one to three man shelter. I have a frabill ranger ultralite now but i want to have room for another person. I was also wondering how the sled/skin options work. I was thinking about using the sled for hunting so a bigger one would be nice.
