Gus Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Nothing to get one's panties tight, but I am fishing, not hunting, so a camouflage pattern makes no sense. Sells to a lot of outdoorsmen, yes. Makes sense, no.Sorta like Zubaz... You making fun of my pants??? LOL! great comment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterman91105 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The blue camo has started to grow on me. It's a different look then just solid colors like everyone else has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I love the Camo and judging from sales since Otter went to it I think many many more like it than dislike it. I know every year I have worked the St. Paul show since Otter went camo sales have increased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishersofmen Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 May have more to do with the popularity explosion of ice fishing rather than the very attractive blue camo........I would imagine sales have increased for all brands.

CaptainMusky Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Offer it again in "Drab&Dull Green" and watch the numbers skyrocket!! Dont forget barney purple. If they brought those colors back and I had to buy one I would quit ice fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonehunting Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Just finished putting my Otter Lodge Thermal together this afternoon. Very impressed with it's quality. As others have said the camo has grown on me. Can't wait to try this new house out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndRo Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Just switched from a Frabill 7080 to the Otter Cabin, the camo didn't bother me any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillfisher Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I ordered an Otter cabin the other day, the camo doesn't bother me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicstix Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hey now! That is NOT Barney purple! Thats Viking purple. All my Otters are purple. Best color they ever had. I could have chosen Packer green but considering how the Vikes have done over all these years maybe the green wouldn't have been so bad. However when the camo came out I thought it was awesome and really wanted one but thats worn off now and I don't care for it as much now. Maybe its time for a color change again. Purple/Camo!

Random guy Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Just wondering why you guys spend so much time sitting on the outside of your house looking at the color of it rather than inside it fishing? Great comment! I personally like the camo, I think it is a "fun" look. I also like the darker color all around as it does draw heat from the sun. Another plus for me is how the camo hides spots, stains and other bad things that portables go through. I had an auger leak once on a solid colored house. I ended up with a big blotch right on the door that drove me nuts, the camo you do not see that. Plus as stated above when you see that blue camo you know right away, “That’s an Otter, that guy is cool". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMusky Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Johnny, you pull all three of those houses at once with the bearcat?Pretty sweet, but I would have to think it would be like following a tractor pulling two hay racks down the road.

FISHINGURU Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 If they were smart and wanted to increase sales they'd make full thermal black and white camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB_Cooper Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Getting ready to order one myself to complete the ice force trifecta. Strikemaster Laser Pro, Marcum LX-7, and coming soon....otter pro thermal lodge!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunt fish repeat Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Like it or hate it, the marketing works, just look at this post we're all thinking and talking about the color but were also thinking and talking about the product and the quality. If it were plain blue, green or red there would be no buzz it. When you see an Otter you know it's an Otter, when you see a solid color it's just another shack.

muc33 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I can't see the camo pattern when Im fishing... I'm busy watching my Marcum or unhooking a fish, and from the inside it's grey!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishersofmen Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 If it were plain blue, green or red there would be no buzz it. Not too sure about that. There is plenty of "buzz" with the other manufacturers but it is more about the quality, not if people can tolerate the color. Canvas Craft for instance is plain black but have created a "buzz" for years because of the quality. Even after reading the remarks from several Otter owners you can see that many people who have purchased these units were definetely not fond of the color but chose to except it because they like the quality.Would any of the current owners have not purchased an Otter if it wasn't the delightful blue camo? Doubt it.Would many more people purchase an Otter if it was a "normal" color? Gaurantee it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't buy mine because it was blue camo but I love the fact that it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
