Strikemaster Customer Service__A+


Recommended Posts

Was up on a week long fishing trip and in the middle of it my handle on my month old Solo broke midway through a hole... mad Luckily I own a Strikemaster!! grin I called their A+ customer service department while I was still on the lake and they shipped out a new handle that same day! I got it the next day, and was back in business!

Thanks Strikemaster!

I bought a SM lazer mag ultra the year they came out(9 inch 3 blade), the first year it would itself throught the ice. second year it was a little harder, thrid year would not cut even with new blades. Long story short, took it SM, no questions asked, they replaced the auger shaft and even the two extra set of blades I had.

This is my third winter with my new Strikemaster, first year they covered the two services under warrenty. Last winter they charged me $70 each for 2 services. This winter they once again charged me $70. I've drilled maybe 75 holes with the auger and have had it in 5 times to be tuned up = almost $200, got every excuse including the gas mixture so i measured it exact, still didn't run, couldn't drill 2 holes without restarting it. I will say it does run good right now, but i've only got about a dozen holes since last service. They are pretty fast but i still give the SM service a solid D-....

Well, I brought in my auger last Friday at about 10:00am. When I went inside there was about 10 other guys in there with their augers or picking up parts. I thought cr%p I am either going to be here all day or have to drop it off and pick it up later. When I left about 20min's later all the other guy's issues had been handled and I found out that I had a cracked weld on my bit but that the pitch was ok. I put on a new blade and ran it over to my buddies who spot welded the thing so I am back in bizz! I have never seen a service place handle and move so many people in and out as fast as they did. wink

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
