I saw them at GM two days ago, a bunch of them. They go for $40. Nice compartments for other storage and stuff. Even have rod holders on the outside! Pretty nice deal, I think I'm going to get one once I get my 'Bird Ice 45. The soft case for the 'Bird's is $35-40 anyways.

Arctic Armor floats, IceArmor is the clamcorp branded stuff. This is a Clamcorp product, therefore, I doubt it floats on its own. I may be wrong; they may have made it float, but not on the material's properties alone.

I am looking for one for my FL18, are they pretty universal as far as which flashers will fit in them? Since they're ice armor, do the float?? that would be sweet..How much do they run and who carries them?

Floating flasher bags...what a novel idea for all those guys who tend to drop their $500 flasher down the hole! grin

Flashers do fit down a 10.25" ice hole.....it's an ugly thing to see. shocked

I fished an FL-18 out of 24' of water for a guy, and it still working fine today. Ya know that nice melt down effect in a porty....due to a heater cooker...Ya...he stepped out to see a man about a hoarse...and on his return...his FL-18 was gone...D'OHE!

That is why I never chose to go over the 9" on a power auger as they don't fit down them...Vex's don't anyway.

As for a floating sonar bag....one best have a CO-2 cartridge built into it to deploy a balloon...real quick like...as I can't see enough flotation on a bag to hold a heavy ice sonar pack up for too long.

I think there must be a Murphy's Law about Ice fishing too...Anything dropped on the ice will be mysteriously drawn into the nearest ice hole..like a Black Hole sucking in stuff from space. smile

Just bought the flasher bag for my new 'Bird Ice 45. It fits pretty well and I think it'll be nice. I'm just not sure now if I would rather have the carrying case Humminbird makes for these flashers, it seems a bit more portable. Here's some pictures, let me know what you think!

Didn't mean that I have ever had a problem with dropping it down the hole. Was just wondering that since it's made by them that it might. but thanks for all the sarcastic remarks.

Sorry bud...was just having fun, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.

Looks like an awesome setup for the guys who drill a bunch of holes and then hole hop. Everything you need in one super lightweight portable case.

I have my flasher in one hand and a pale in the other holding my tackle and rods. Be nice to have a flasher bag in one hand and a rod in the other!

Looks like a nice setup. Any idea if a Genz Box will fit in that thing?

Oh I would surely think so. I think any of the Vex's would be good. I know the Ultra Pack's fit real nice. I was a little worried about the Ice-45 though, because it's base is a circle. And it overhangs by like a 1/4 to 1/2 inch, but it still zips up just fine. I think vex's would fit good. Every picture I've seen is of a vexilar in the case.

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
