Opinions on Jason Mitchell Thermal X?

I have fished in one. It is a nice house. I like the light colored tub. The canvas stitching frosts badly in below 0. I also don't care for the pole clips.

It's a nice house, but the canvas isn't nearly as good as my Otter thermal.

I have a JM thermal X and it fits in my 1500 Silverado short bed with an extended cab. It's been a good house for me. I watched the Perch Patrol guys fish out of them on Devils Lake in 40+ mph right after Christmas and they held up well.

I like mine quite a bit, bought it last winter. The big tubes on the hoops don't bind and the clips are pretty good. They could be better but they're nice for setting up and taking down with gloves on. This years models are even nice I think with the addition of the white coloring on the inside of the sled, the rail system for the seats and the LED bar in the top hoop make it better than last years model.

I bought one last year and so far so good. I like the light color canvas. I've never had problems with mine frosting no matter how cold it's been. The front and rear doors. Feels roomy. The lights on the tub are sweet and like the previous post the new ones now come with a light bar to either clip onto existing hoop pole or cut a pole and insert it.

I have a quad cab Dodge Ram and it fits in mine just fine. There are 3 box sizes of sorts and variations really. Short, regular and long.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
