Which Strikemaster Auger Bit do you prefer?

[MidCoast]

I have a 10 inch lazer bit. I want to downsize. Which Strikemaster bit do you prefer? 8, 7, or 6 inch lazer bit? Is the chipper blade better?

I like to fish for Walleyes, Tullibees, and Crappies, pretty much it.

chipper blade isn't as finicky and doesn't need sharpening as often. You can also reopen holes. It isn't going to be as fast though.

I have a 10" chipper and am thinking of downsizing too, just to drop some weight.

Both augers are nice. Lazer blades will dull faster in "dirty" ice, meaning lakes that have windblown dirt or alot of sediment in water before freezeup. I've found these conditions in many ND lakes and Lake Winnipeg. Therefore I like the chipper in the "dirty" ice situations because they don't dull as fast. The majority of my fishing done in MN is with the 8"Lazer auger. I use the 10" chipper style on Lake Winnipeg. Hope that isn't too confusing.

Good luck finding one now but the 224 8" bit is the best drill I have ever used I'm just lucky I have one. The new lazers are also very fast drills. I personally wouldn't like a chipper as they are a little slower. I have a buddy looking to get a drill for his also. He has has a chipper 10" and it's a bit much to hole hop with it.

Midcoast I have a new 8 inch lazer bit and a 10 inch chipper which I use to reopen holes and I'm thinking about getting a 10 inch lazer bit. So they are both the same size. If your thinking about a 8 inch lazer I might be willing to swap with you assuming your is in good shape.

fyi drock is selling out their stock of augers for a good deal. saw they had 8inch and 7inch lazers.

224 best auger I've seen to date.

I prefer strikemast 8'' with a chipper blade. Chipper blade helps if you are trying to reopen holes.

Nevermind found it.

I have a Strike Lite with the carbon auger and think it is smooth and easy. The only problem is it ices up in cold weather and I have to chisel it out every few holes - after the PAM cooking spray wears off.

I RUN A Lazer 224 bottom with 3hp Solo head.

WATCHOUT!

Wear some safety goggles.

I purchased a 10" Lazer 224 second year 2005.

I also purchased two spare 10" 224 bottoms off E bay brand new in box with blades and covers in 2010 for $100 each from H&H.

BLADES are 80 bucks a set alone so it was a no brainer.

[swmndeerhunter]

Dundee, you willing to sell one of the 224 bottoms without blades? I'd be interested...

[AlligatorDundee]

Try calling H&H Sports in Maple Lake.

ASK TO SPEAK TO THE OWNER.

They bought Strikemaster out of these bottoms.

THEY HAD A COUPLE HUNDRED OF THEM. 8s and 10s

I was told at that time some they purchased were still piled together in gondolas that shipped to

Strikemaster from Mora of Sweden.
