Jiffy 30

[jhemi]

I have a Jiffy 30 and would like to replace my standard blade with the replacement Stealth Blade Kit. Just wondering if anyone has tried this, or reasons why it won't work. I know it's a Jiffy but it was FREE..

jhemi- Welcome to FishingMinnesota.com.. great to have you on board! And there is nothing wrong with owning a Jiffy! Hopefully someone on the board has done this and can help you out.. Otherwise I would call thier customer servise and see what they say. They know thier equipment the best and would be able to tell you if it would work for you!

Good luck!

Welcome! I agree, nothing wrong with owning a Jiffy and getting one for free is the best! I bought my Jiffy (used) over 25 years ago and it still runs and works like new! Mine doesn't have removable blades, they are part of the augar. I have to sharpen them and use a Dremel grinder to get them close, then a flat file to get them nice and sharp. The tip point is very important to get sharp as this is what helps you get the hole started. I may look for a bigger auger bit as mine only makes a six inch hole and getting those HUGE BUCKETMOUTH BASS thru the hole is sometimes tough.

Thank you for your suggestions. After talking to a few people and they all had mixed thoughts, so I decided to try it. All I had to do is drill two holes for the small blades. So was it worth the $70? Yep. My buddy has a newer Jiffy that was much faster than mine, so we put it to the test on URL. Aprox 36" of ice and I could drill two holes (less than 1 minute) in the time it took him to drill one. WOW. Now he's going to do the same thing.
