Best Hand Auger

[Guest]

I need a hand auger to pack in for trout fishing, what is the lightest and easiest to use? I will have to slide it in 3 miles on a closed road at Mammoth. Spudbars any good?

Robber,
I just bought a Strike Master Lazer 6" on Saturday. I have never tried any other brand before but this one seems real light and cuts unbelievably fast/easy.

robbor - Check out the Nils master high velocity auger. I have a Mora thats retired forever and a 6 inch Lazer plus a 6 inch Nils. The Nils definatly cuts easier and better. The 2 handed design once gotten used too is the cats meow. Much easier cranking with two hands instead of pushing with one and cranking with one. I believe that Cabelas carries the Nils???? Plus it has a handle that easily folds up for packing....

Dark Cloud, you beat me on the Nils Master auger, they are the best out there! Cabela's sells them under HT high velocity auger. I think a rep will be there from Nils Master at the ice show and can look and both the hand and the new power auger out this year, Suppose to be a sweet machine.
