Eskimo Quick Flip III or Fish Trap Yukon?

[Woods&Water]

Looking for feed back on both. Right now they are the same price, but the Yukon is only available with the Packers logo. OR... look at a set up house type? Have kids and trying to get them out on the ice with me. Looking for all types of feed back.

I would stay away from the packers logo. I have a fish trap voyager and it is great. It is a little bigger then the yukon but basicaly the same. I think the eskimo has a bench seat which might work well for having a couple of kids with. I think they are both good houses, just pick the one that fits your needs.

HI W&W!

I have a QFIII and I love it. I like the fact that it has a bench in it and you can set the bench up high enough to put 5 gal. buckets under it. I just got it this year and have only used it 4 ot 5 times but the times I have used it's worked well.

Let me know if you have questions and I would be more then happy to try to answer them.

dont forget about the otter resort, i have one and absolutely love it. wouldnt trade it for anything. if you need alot of room you might want to check out the new otter village. just a thought.

If your looking to pull it with an ATV or snowmobile, and want a heavy duty sled, step up to a Grand Caravan (next step up from the QFIII). Had mine for 2 years now and love it. It also comes with a bench seat. Not all places carry this model. Bought mine at Sportsman's Warehouse. Only con I found with this portable, it is kind of heavy. But I want a heavy duty sled.

I have a QFIII and like it alot. Got it last year. As stated tho I don't and would not pull it behind a snowmobile or atv. The sled is too thin for that. I use it in the back of my pickup-- it fits nicely into a fullsize 6.5 ft bed. Its not so heavy that I can't load it by myself. The canvas seems lite compared to other manufacturers but so far it hasn't torn or ripped and I have tugged on it pretty hard when I've banked slush around it and it froze. The only problem I can report would be the plastic clips on the end of the poles broke a few times but one call to Ardisam in WI and they will replaced them. That was last year's model-- the new ones might have better clips. Don't know anything about the Yukon.

I bought the Yukon new this year, it is a great house, they beefed up the sled, made the whole thing out of ice armor, put more supports in the pole system and also made it bigger, also the hole out the back is very handy when you need to get out and not disturb the heater, lantern and other fisherman, Great buy, I love it. The only thing that could be better on it is if they made the rod holders better, but that will be next year im sure.

Thanks for all the info. I am still unsure which way to go. I will be pulling the house on the ice most of the time with an ATV. Maybe I will have make some sort of ski's for the house if I get the QFIII.

Got my first opportunity last night to try out the Link Connector between two Yukons. What a great option. It really opens it up and makes it feel like everyone is fishing out of the same house. If you have a friend with a Yukon, I highly reccomend getting a Yukon and also purchasing the connector.

Go with the Fish Trap Yukon. I just bought one this year right from the factory. As a fellow resident of Andover the drive to the factory wasn't to long. The Quick Flip III are nice but are a little cheaper. Youll get what you pay for. The seats that come with th yukon are very comfortable and can't be beat. Call up the factory and reserve yours.

I was the same boat, fish trap guide or QFII. I went with the Fish trap guide. I have not used it yet but think I made the right decesion on that one. Both look like nice shacks.

LOTWKIng, Was it any cheaper buying it from the factory? I have been thinking about buying one. Thanks, Troy Pike
