StrikeMaster Solo

[harvey lee]

I have now used this auger on 5-6 outings and it should be broken in.

With running the suggested oil to gas ratio of 40-1, the exhaust is alomost smokeless with using the StrikeMaster oil.

For starting, she works like a charm and starts within a few pulls. I do let it warm up for a minute or so before cutting.

The cutting speed on this auger is simply awesome and it cuts with no downward pressure and cuts with total ease.

In regards to ice left in the hole, with a quick crack of the throttle while pulling the auger up, one can fish the hole without doing any scooping.

I would rate this new Solo auger with a 10 on a 10 scale.

I can find nothing that this auger is short of including power.

Its my newest best friend for ice fishing gear.

Thank you to StrikeMaster for coming out with a great new product.

That thing sure zips through the ice, I may have to update my old one to the Solo!

[harvey lee]

Yes Scott, it may be the fastest cutting auger I have ever used and still leaves the hole fishable with scooping it out.

Nest time you see me on the lake, come on over and take it for a test drive.

Its a great auger.

I was thinking about it tonight, but I didnt want to drill during prime fishing time.

I was sure impressed by it on Friday night Tom, had I not already purchased a Nils I would have seriously looked at a Solo!

[harvey lee]

AS people use and see the Solo in action, they will be buying more of them.

[Bigslugger]

They are quite the motor. They turn heads on the ice on how fast they are

[Chris Haley]

These are the greatest!!! If you are looking for an auger and see a solo in a store. Buy it!!! They are being sold out fast everywhere.

Simply an awesome product!! Every time I hammer it and drill someone comes over to check it out... A good conversation piece and a great piece at that

Should have seen me at the ice show man!

[no bait nate]

best auger i've ever used, no probs at all, just power

[slurpie]

This is good to hear ive been really looking at a nils but just dont want to spend that much. Have a strikemaster now but a second faster seems like alot when drilling alot of holes in a day.

[fisherdog19]

Best auger out there, period. It flat out drills holes fast and with ease and the torque on them is incredible.

[harvey lee]

I turn my switch on, pump the primer 2-3 times and depress the compression button. I also slide the choke lever to on. I pull it once and then slide the choke off or to half on and pull and start.

My old Lazer Mag was tired. The blades were out of pitch, and probably a carb kit.

I had the blades re-pitched, but it cut so agressivly that it was stalling the gearbox.

I had a LOTW trip looming, and did not have the time to fix it.

I had been planning on getting a Nils, but someone I trusted steered me to a Solo. I picked up the Lazer Mag. I drilled a few holes at home, then put an extension on and headed to the NW Angle.

I could not be happier. It was getting thru 35 inches of ice in 8-10 seconds. No binding, grabbing or sticking as it went thru.

Great leap forward for Strikemaster!

[harvey lee]

They are a sweet auger for sure.

I too have been having problems with mine this year. Recoil broke twice and the clutch also went out. Even with the problems strikemaster has been really good about fixing it the same day. I would bet that they are going to come up with a solution that will fix the reoccurring problems and take care of there loyal customers.

[harvey lee]

They must have gotten the recoil issue fixed as I got mine in the middle of Jan and it has worked every pull.
