Scout or Pro????

[Coach1310]

Hey guys. Looking at down sizing my fish house. I have a Quickflip II by Eskimo now, but am looking for a little less house that is easier for the run and gun style I usually fish. Do you recommend the Fish Trap Scout or Pro?? Thanks!

PRO!!!! I bought 2 more this weekend and that makes 4! the local worlds foremost outfitter has a great sale on them now at 200 bucks.

Seriously, the pro is like a one man shack - room for 2 holes if needed, a marcum and a camera. Adjustable seats, etc. room for all your gear. Good for the guy who likes to take equipment but also likes mobility.

Both are great one-man portables, but they both have their own place in their own right...

If you plan on fishing two holes on a regular basis, then go with the Pro. The Pro will allow for more room in front of you, and you'll be much more comfortable fishing two holes. However, the Pro has extendable poles, so you will always have to extend poles whenever moving around if you don't want your canvas to drag on the ground. The Pro also has a more comfortable seat.

The Scout on the other hand never has to worry about collapsable poles, as they are always in one position and the canvas can be flipped-over without worries of dragging when running from hole to hole. If you plan on fishing mainly just one hole and aggressively moving from spot to spot with the lightest weight possible, then the Scout would be the way to go. The Scout is also going to give you about a $60 lower price-point.

Both the Pro and Scout are good choices, and I don't think you can go wrong either way if you're looking to go light weight and portable...

I have both!!

But seriously, if you want some room in a one man trap, go with the Pro. The Scout and Pro use the same tub, but the fabric and poles are placed onto the tub in different ways.

Everyone else gave you all the benefits to both traps already, so if a little bit more room and comfort is what your looking for, then go with the Pro. But if extreme mobility and light weight is what your looking for, go with the Scout. Both are great little shacks and hand tow easily..

Another thing to keep in mind is the Traplink feature. I fish with Trouthunter quite a bit and what we generally do is roam around hole hopping with our pros all day and when the night bite starts to really hit we will settle on one spot and zip our pros together to fish. Works really well. I don't believe the Scout has the traplink feature. Best of luck in your decision either one is lightweight and a quality product.

Bring on the ICE!

Thanks Guys I appreciate the info! I think I am going to go with the Pro. I don't fish two holes a lot, but it would be nice to have a little extra room when I need to. Thanks again!
