ice hogger shroud

[crappiegetter]

I have owned one of these things since I first seen it at the ice fishing show about 3 years ago. First one I bought work great for the first ice season. Then my auger destroyed it at the end of the season not too big of a deal, so I purchased another one since I liked it so much. I used it 7 times last season since I didn't fish that much and twice this season and already the auger is wrecking it. I'm no longer impressed with this product as I feel I shouldn't have to buy one every year. Does anyone one else use this and have had a problem with it?

I haven't had any problems with mine on a Nils.

I have about 5" of auger/blade out past the end of the shroud so I don't think that would catch the hogger.

I bought one for my 9 inch strike master laser and it works great I've used for two years now.

Like Surface Tension have the shroud up above the blade about 4 inches. I bought mine cause I thought it would be great for directing the ice chips away from my spear hole when the ice gets thicker. It does a alright job on what I use it for but if I had a perm and the ice catcher attachment I would defiantly be happy with it.

Mine is mounted pretty high up but seems to still get caught by the auger. The first one I only mounted 3 inches above the blade. When its working right I love this thing. But after this one is ruined I don't think I will get another.
