Last winter, there were a number of posts and good reviews regarding Glen's Pop Up fish houses. I booked marked the Glen's site and started saving my spare change.

I just checked their site and they do not show any fish houses under their own brand - just the Eskimo and Clam houses.

Any one have any news on whether Glen's is going to sell more fish houses?

Not sure if this is true or not, but the rumor going around that I've heard is that whoever made the knock-off pop-up fish houses for Glenns and others used poles that were too brittle and would snap in the wind ---- lots of problems with the houses and no reliable warranty backing them, and not going to be sold again this year.

interesting...

Haven't heard of these rumors yet but I don't know if I'd give Glen the title of "knock off" since they seem to be one of the best build hubs out there...I'd give the title "cheap knock-off" to clam!

From personal experience, I like my glens hub and it has been out in high winds and cold temps....

Yeah, I used mine all year last year and I wouldn't call it cheap at all. They were the first to show me some features that are now coming on the new Eskimo's. I however can't speak of the warranty as I haven't had to deal with it. I have owned a clam hub and I would take the Glen's Hub over the Clam any day of the week.

Fished out a friends Glen's Hub 6x6. Seemed to work great, nice design and no complaints.

I think the same manufacture that makes Glen's Hubs also makes the "Black Ice" and Outdoor Xtreme ice shacks. The designs all look the same.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
