Frabil xl speed shak

[CaptSpike]

Thinking of picking one of these up. I like the floor layout and the fact that you can remove the skin at years end for storage. Anyone had any experience with them good or bad?

Thanks,

Spike

had one for years and loved it. the only reason I sold it was to go to a flip over style instead. I'd never go back to a suitcase style again, but I loved my speed shack xl and got tons of use out of it, and it stood up to it all!! I like to be mobile, and that shack didn't fit my needs any longer.

My dad has one LOVE IT. the best for "raining" on you cuz of the breathable canvas, black color-warm while the sun is out. sets up really quick and has lots of room for all sorts of stuff. other than thati would reccommend it easy set up easy take down exreamly

I have one and loved it for years. Lots of room, easy and fast set up and I could stand up in it. Im 6'6" tall.

I quit using it when I got a Otter Mag Lodge. Now mine sits and collects dust. Drawback was not very portable and heavy.

The sled type hoouses are best unless your driving and setting up in 1 spot for a long time.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm going to get it based on the positive responses. We pretty much fish the same spot all day (bass, smelt and trout)and if we move we got 4 wheelers and trailers, so it shouldn't be too hard to move seeing as the shack breaks down quickly. Also glad to see it sttod up to the elements. I was wondering how it would do being so tall.

I enjoyed mine, the only problem I had or have is the hinged part of the floor that folds up broke on me. So I have only 2 of 3 working hinges. Called to get a replacement and I have to buy the whole half of that part of the floor which was around $70. After really looking at it, It looked kind of cheap and could have been made much better. Plastic and -20 degree days don't mix. Other than that, I enjoyed it.

I have any older one, and it is OK as long as you plan on staying in one spot.
