SnoBears

Anyone seen or better yet used one of these? I know I will never be able to afford one ($30,000) but they sure look cool. Great for Lake of the Woods. If I owned a resort on one of MN's large lakes, I would purchase these suckers. They'd pay for themselves eventually. For those who want a look, google it and try the first hit.

I saw one fishing around Oak Island on LOW last February. It looked pretty cool, it would lower itself down when they got to their fishing spot.

Lots of $$$$ for sure.

The snow bear is about the coolest thing around. Don't worry that you can't afford it. Even if you could afford one, you then would just get a guide that had one. 30K buys a lot of stuff.

Some of the guides in the Brainerd area started using them last winter. I think walleyedan was offering trips with them last winter I believe.

I've been in them at the Ice Show. They sure looked neat. But lots of moola!

[ozzie]

Yeah Walleyedan has or atleast had one last year......Cool machines!!!!

[nytelyter]

first one i saw was at the state fair last year. and there was one that showed up at the metro minnetonka ice gathering last year. cool buggys but like said. not in my pocket-book or future. unless i hit the lotto. and then i want a hovercraft like hoverman has as well. ... paul

I went with the owner of the bait shop in Greenbush MN last winter up to Oak Island. They drive across the ice at approx. 28 to 32 mph. They are sweet. Takes very little time to set up and start fishing. Ride is pretty smooth and comfortable. Fun Fun!! Bruce Mosher

Yah, $30,000 is way too much for me too! I would love to have one though...

I guess the thinking behind it is that people spend that much and more on boats...so why not for one of these? It's like a "boat" for ice fishing.

I actually know one of the owners of the company really nice guy we tested one in his lawn there great but way to expensive for this guy. He said they actually took two out to the mountains and were going places sleds couldn't go!!

They are a slick set-up, that is for sure! I guided out of one last winter and it was absolutely awesome. I had one trip to Mille Lacs that I wish wouldn't have happened, but other than that it was one sweet machine. I will be running one again this year and one of our other guides might be doing the same. They are expensive, yes but so are fishing boats. When you try and make a living in the guiding business, you need to have one of these babies. I used mine about everyday last winter and it's just the same as running my boat during the open water season. If you have other questions, please call or email. I'm booking trips, so please let us know if you want to take a trip.
