Ready Rig Auger cover

[harvey lee]

Boy is my auger in love with me. She says she will do alot of fast holes and never complain. I shined her up this year,gave her a new plug, adjusted the carb and sharpened her blades.

Now for the part she really loved. I purchased her a new auger cover from Ready Rig. It fits like a glove and covers the auger head completly so the road dirt and salt wont dirty the carb and eat away at her block.

This is one of the best products I have bought for my gear in years.

Guys, do your auger a favor and get her a cover and she will pay you back for years.

Here's a good look at it!

I have a complete auger cover, but would like something like that for running and gunning. The full cover is nice, but it's kind of a pain to put in and take out of all day long.

How much do these cost?

Where can I get one?

[harvey lee]

With all the booths I hit yesterday and items bought I believe it was at Thorne Bros. The cost was 14.00.

[nluchau]

I got mine at the Reed's booth for 13.99 Fits good too!

I just picked one up. After digging the packed slush out of my Jiffy this weekend I figure it is a must have for those long runs across slushy Red.

dump, I was planning on grabbing one of those at the show on friday and totally forgot about them. My local gander doesnt carry them. Looks like I will have to give cabelas a call...Darn another cabelas splurge

Picked mine up yesterday. Couldn't find any left at the ice show, but did get one at FF. They sure seem like a nice sturdy item. Harvey Lee thanks again for the recomendation.

[harvey lee]

Not a problem jigging matt. If there is a good product out there then we might as well all know about it.

i ran through their site but only saw one for strikemaster. anyone know where i can find one to fit my jiffy, or will it work for both?

[harvey lee]

Thorne Bros sells them. I didnt look at my bag to see what else they fit, but they do fit the Jiffy very nice and snug. Here is there contact info. You can order over the phone and they will ship to you and they could also tell you what models they all fit.

A Red & black (JIFPHC01) model was designed to fit Jiffy® and Eskimo® 2hp and 3hp wide stance handle augers.

The Blue & Black (SMPHC01) model was designed to fit the more compact StrikeMaster augers with composite handles including the Strike Lite. I believe the SMPC01 would probably provide a better fit for the smaller, compact and more square shape of the Nils.

You can also find a official Jiffy® Yellow & Black vesion on the Jiffy HSOforum. I believe you can also get that version from your favorite dealer as well...just ask.

Hope this helps!

[hip_hop_fisherman]

thanks for the replies guys, definitly interested in one of those.

[Duffman]

Yep, it's on my Christmas list. Will be very useful when sledding across the lake, great protection for a spendy piece of equipment.

I have a 3hp strikemaster with the metal D handle.. should I be getting the jify since the strikemaster one is for the 2hp plastic handles? nobody in my area carries the covers so i cant take it in and check.

[Eyeguy86]

i bought my full cover last season and wouldnt recommend it to anyone. the first really cold day i used it the vinyl type material got quite brittle i couldnt even pick up the auger with out the cover ripping where the handles are sewn on. looks and sounds good in theory, performance on the other hand not so hot. it would be a much better product if it were made out of a heavy canvas material. just a thought from my experience the $50 bucks not well spent.

[trapperdirk]

heheh As a matter of fact I bought one of each a week or so ago and waiting for them to arrive .I have a Jiffy so the one is made for it and the SM version one I ordered hoping it will be a good fit for my Nils . Looks like I will have me two winners .

Did you try and contact the company and let them know you had problems? I would think that they might be interested in your problems with the cover. Sometimes these problems can be resolved with a phone call.I am wondering if we are talking about the same thing? The Ready Rig auger bag that I bought was more of a rough fabric and not vinyl and the price was 14 dollars and not 50. I am thinking you might be talking about something totally different.

I hope it all works out for you.

[Wild Willie]

Eyeguy86 - call me at 651.501.9518 during regular business hours. I would like to hear more about what happened to your bag.

I do believe the post about the bad 50 dollar bag has to be different than the auger bag that I am talking about as I paid 14 and he is talking about a 50 dollar vinyl bag. I believe we are not talking about the same product.

[Paul Waldowski]

I believe he's talking about the full Auger bag.

[jigging-matt]

Picked up my cover on sunday and Love it. It appears to be well made. can't wait to try it.(as soon as the Auger gets a little carb work done) But I am very happy with it. Think it will help loads while transporting the auger.

[bigdog]

I picked up a Blue one on Thursday for my 8 (?) year old Strikemaster Lazer. It has the metal handles and the bag fit just fine. Not sure if the 3hp had wider handles or not. I will try and remember to measure my auger tonite and will post up the results.

Harvey - thanks for the tip, both me and a fellow from work picked covers up. This sure is a nice HSOforum for tips and help!
