Slush Inhaler One Scoop and be done!

[hill7410]

I just purchased the slush inhaler and am going to use it this weekend, has anyone else used or seen this product, it would definately be worth it if you only have to scoop just once, especially when there is 3 feet of ice.

Drill the hole, shovel all slush away on top of the ice, then put the auger back down there and give it a little gas so the auger slowly turns and lift the auger slowly. This will remove 95% of the ice most times. Then it only takes one scoop with any scooper.

PS. Never used the slush inhaler and my suggestion is not feasable for perm shacks and certain other situations.

[hill7410]

Thats were it is going to stay in the big shack, i cant give a little gas and spray all the slush and water it will stick to the skids and freeze in, kinda hard to shovel when you are drilling in a 10x16 ya know.

They work pretty good, especially inside the house. Just push it down the hole, lift up, let the water drain and then carry outside and dump it. Gets almost all of the ice with one scoop. Saves a fair amount of time compared to the regular ice scoop.

It is very useful in the big house. I rarely use it outside because I can get most of the slush out with a rapid fire of the ol' auger. Inside, though, it cuts hole cleaning time down to a fraction. I like my slush inhaler.

I saw a guy use one once, and I wasn't very impressed. It didn't seem to work any better than the good ol' hand scoop from what I saw.-Later!

I've never seen anything work better - in a permanent fish house - knock slush into hole and - bam - the holes cleaned out - I only use mine if there is extra room to bring and there is plenty of ice - bought mine at the end of the year they were giving them away - some of the best money I ever spent!

The thing I like most about the slush inhaler (other than it's a really cool idea!) is that I think I remember hearing that they're made in Fergus Falls by handicapped people. A great service to the community -- Fergus Falls AND ice fishermen!

I have a slush inhaler and it stays in my big house. It works great! I drill my holes and then set my house down, the slush and ice shavings seal the holes in the floor for fishing. I then use the slush inhaler and set my lines. Fast and easy!

[Northlander]

Works good in perms as stated. One hint is use a 5 gallon pail for the ice instaed of draging to the door every time. Yes its heavy but dont fill all the way if you cant lift that much. I 1st saw one of these in the Northwest Angle at Baystore Resort. Frank had made on about 10 years ago and the design made in fergus is the smae today. Real handy in perms.

[JohnMickish]

Unless they have changed the design don't forget to tie a rope onto the handle cuz the older ones where the same diameter all the way up, and if the bottom fits into the hole so does the top! PS, they sink.

Thanks for the tip fishinguy. I'm taking mine on its maiden voyage to Red this weekend.

[metrojoe]

Anything that makes it easier than the traditional method sounds good to me.

I lost a spud bar once because I didn't have a rope tied to it.

[fishing41]

I've always wanted one for the permanent as well, but can't justify the price. Maybe if it's on clearance... Still can't beat a colender. They're cheap, come in lots of sizes, and get the smallest particles out of the hole quick & easy.

Slush Inhaler's are currebtly on sale at Cabela's. Online anyways...

[IndyEFI500]

Find me three feet of ice and I'll buy one just to try It. We only wish this year.

[hip_hop_fisherman]

They work well, but I don't use it much anymore. Just another item to have to haul around, bulky at that. Besides, with the whole foot of ice we have around on a lot of lakes, there isn't much slush to clean!

[Blondie]

When your up at L.O.W. and busting through 3-4ft of ice and your drilling six holes in the house, it saves alot of clean up time.
