Hawg Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I saw a slush copter last weekend and thought it worked remarkably well for permanent houses. Problem is nobody has them around here. I've tried to contact the company by phone, by facebook, by email for a week and no response. Has anyone tried the metal one they sell at Fleet? It's heavier and not as nice but you can't buy a product you can't find and the owners don't care enough to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthDakotaguide Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 are you talking about http://fishmor.net/? if so i have one for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawg Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I want the other one but may have to compromise on that one. That's the one they have at Fleet. Are they just too heavy and clumsy, is that why you want to get rid of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsnrod Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 From my experience the best place for the slush is on top of the ice it keeps coming up as long as your there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishalittle Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Never had any slush come back up my holes after using it and giving them a final skim with the ice dipper. You go from buckets of slush to about a 1/4 of a bucket with 7 holes. Everyone has a preference....I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkbait Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 By looking at there web page you can order online. I have one and love it. The ice goes down the hole and does not come floating back up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a list of 30 dealers listed on the slush copter HSOforum homepage 'Pick Yours Up At'. Many of which are in MN...I assume you've tried all of them!?

JeffB Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 From my experience the best place for the slush is on top of the ice it keeps coming up as long as your there. +1 Seems like when you push the slush down you keep getting a little back in the hole every time you catch a fish and its just another thing to bring with you in the house.

jerkbait Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 They also list all the suppliers on the web page. Don't settle for 2nd best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthDakotaguide Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 i have 3 of them for our rental shacks we never use the 3rd one is why also i love the Deep freeze slusher as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnesotathorn Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I love my slush copter. ordered it from factory site in Minnesota. cheaper than most stores. I have never had to use an ice scoop after using the copter twice in each hole. I run the copter 3/4 of the way down the hole & let it run for 15/20 seconds & its all gone for good. nothing comes up when landing a fish.

Hawg Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 The reason I'm looking close to home is so I can get it this week before moving the house. All the places that have them in stock are up close to the border where they are made. And you know how slow some people are to ship. They wait till they get a few orders and then do them all. If I have to wait a week or two I might as well wait till summer when I go up north and save the $13 shipping and probably get them a ton cheaper also. Heck, I would pay extra to have one today. And, it is frustrating when people don't respond. One of their numbers even has a such a full message file you can't even leave one and the others don't respond.

I just bought one in Detroit Lakes a week ago. Haven't had a chance to use it yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawg Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Guess what. Monica just called and they were in Las Vegas for a week. She'll have one on UPS today for me. Nicest lady in the world with an incredible product. If you're tired of carrying 5 gal pails of slush out the door of your house get one. Only God knows where the shavings go because they don't come up in the other holes! This gimmick/gadget works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdrzman78 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 its definately not a gimmick, one of the better investments i have made in ice fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcedtowork Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The slush copter is worth the wait. I also have the strikemaster slushmaster, the copter is far supperior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACKJACK Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Sounds like a handy product but not sure I want to add it AND a cordless drill to all my other gear.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster7 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Finally got a chance to get out. LOTS of ice and this little tool worked as advertized. Saved a lot of back breaking work hauling slush out of the house!My buddy was dog tired after he got done setting up his house and I didn't even break a sweat after the holes were drilled. A big thumbs up for this product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hawg, ordered my Slush Copter online and had it in 2 days, shipping was lighting fast. Never rtalked to anyone, just a online order.I would not trade this away for anything, best unit I have found for something new in years.Why can't I think of something like this.

Hawg Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Harvey, I'm sure there are people on here that think I must work for the company as much as I've been on about these things. Just like you I got it and used it and it was so neat I wanted to show people. No more buckets of slush that seem to weigh 10#'s more each year older I get. When I couldn't get one at first I almost bought the metal one. They might work to but these are so light, sink proof, and easy, I'm glad I waited for this brand.

harvey lee Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 After buying and using one, I understand why you feel how you do about the Slush Copter, it is that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
