Ice Auger

Recommended Posts

This is how Ice Fishing should be. A neighbor of our cabin made this ice auger out of a chain saw, a snow blower gear box, and a Mora Auger. I think many of us get a little over the top with buying toys for the ice. Including myself. But I thought I would show you all a pic of this auger. It is not the fastest but it does the job and is light and easy to carry. Best yet, it did not cost a lot.

The very first ice auger that I ever saw was one that my dad bought back in the 60s and it was made with a aircraft landing gear motor with some type of auger welded straight to the motor so when it started it was going wide open right now. That auger cut ice so fast but you have to realize up to this time all the holes we cut were done by hand with a chisel so it did not take much to be a improvement. My dad made a set of 50' jumper cables so we could get off the roads on Mille lacs when fishing and we really did think that we had it made. grin
