Anyone know if there will be any deals at this years ice fishing show. I have gone the past 3 years and have never found a deal on anything. It is usually retail price at best in there.

Anybody know of any deals, or any ways to get a deal on anything? I love going, but buying is hard to do there.

There are always deals down there but if you dont assert yourself and do some comparison shopping you wont get them. Shop the retailers against eachother. They are there to sell and they dont want to have to load it all back up and bring back home.

It may only get ya a free cover for your house or case for your graph but you will save some $ by doing so.

Bruce I will surely stop and buy some of them discs from you. I saw them in the Ice Fishing Mag and thought what a great idea they are. It will surely make some ordinary jigs do unordinary things. Great idea! I hope it does as well as the Ice Buster Bobber that I see others are knocking off now. wink

Save me a bunch of them as well. Can never have enough Ice Busters in the tackle box!

Just googled the "jig disks", what a great innovative idea. Plastics is one of my favorite presentations, with the addition of the disks it will be another great tool to tigger that tough bite.

Great job on the new innovation Bruce. If I can get to the show, I'll be picking up some for sure. Thanks for making the price reasonable, and I like the variety pack option.

Does anybody have deals on Arctic Armor suits at the show?...I am thinking this might be the major addition to my gear this year...

AA doesn't offer any deals at the show --- the best you will find at the show is free gloves.

Pro Fishing Supply and the Outdoor Pro Store are both sponsors here and both give FREE GLOVES and FREE SHIPPING on AA suits. No need to wait for the ice show. Check them out now if you want.

I just picked up a new AA Camo jacket for $169 most places have it listed for $204. Even with having to pay for shipping it was still cheaper ($181) than most everywhere else i saw. Got it from the guy you see in the FF ads.

At last years show, there were a couple of people that sold AA, willing to cut prices to get a deal. They just said "don't tell any of the other vendors that I'm making a price cut" They're not supposed to, but they will.

I ended up going with Ice Armor instead, because I got such a good deal on it.

shows like that they will not advertise their lowest prices...you need to ask which for many people they don't or won't do...but that's how you get your deals and work one retailer against the other to beat or match prices...I can't wait to get a new Ice Fishing Bikini Babe Calender!

does anybody know if i would be able to get a good deal on an otter ice house just frame and poles or am i just wasting my time

IMO you'll get the best deal on an Otter house at Thorne Bros one day sale this Friday. Thats when and where I have bought all of my Otters and have never found a better price.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
