coombia21 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 i am was wondering what would be better a otter 2 man or a clam x2 and where would be the cheapest place to buy ether of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnutz Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I just got a Otter Lodge. Looked at the x2 also. Not much difference between them when you get right down to it. G.M has x2 for under $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustin lips Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 x2 is by far the nicest house I have ever fished out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott K Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I think you will be happy with either. Just find the best deal and get it. Lucky for you there are alot of deals going on right now, you just need to look for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigslugger Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 x2 is by far the nicest house I have ever fished out of. I have to disagree. The Otter is the NICEST house to fish out of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdk511 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 they r basically the same thing just different brands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muc33 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I agree, both are nice units, I own houses from both companies. But one thing really separates them.... Sled strength. Clam Corp Fish Traps are very nice units. But when I am going to hit big water or plan on really covering some ground, my Otter houses are the only way I go. Behind my snowmobile or my ATV without even consideration it will be my Otter. On my ATV rack I can carry my Fish Trap Pro's or Scout, but I will not pull them behind from expierience. I have never EVER had a strength compromise on an Otter Sled with hyfax. Sturdy, Reliable, Roomy, and the best for rugged conditions. Again, I own multiple portable houses, many will confirm this, and I have no issues with either, as a matter of fact, these two companies I mention are all of my fleet.... But like I said above, it is hard to beat an Otter, especially on a multiple man unit!!!Good luck on your purchase and enjoy your time on ice!

Bigslugger Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 they r basically the same thing just different brands... Not the same. Totally different canvas, seating, pole design, sizes, and durability. Strongest and longest lasting there is on the market Not to mention Customer Service. Which is rarely needed. And if they are located in Maple Lakex2 muc33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neiko Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Why do the Otters poles always seem to be drooping in the stores? Every store I go to it is the same thing. I really like them but that is another reason I went with the X2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigslugger Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 What do you mean by drooping Neiko? Otter sled with a Canvas Craft Norpac insulated shelter. Best of both worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they are located in Maple Lakex2 muc33 Both use a 900 deneer fabric, both use 1 1/4" dia. poles one Sqr. one round, Both have nylon slides on the poles. Seats are the same, X2 sled is about an exact copy of the Otter. Didn't like the light color on the inside of the x2 and it's not quite as high, otherwise it looks to me like a copy of the Otter Lodge.

Sandmannd Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I would go otter just for the sled. The most durable sled you will find out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandmannd Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm with Tom, never seen them droop. If they were, I would guess they didn't put the support poles up in them for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neiko Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 When I see them in the stores set up. They are leaning one way or the other. I will have to take a closer look in the store next time and see if I can describe it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
