MORA OR LAZER 6 " HAND AUGER ??

[Guest]

HI ALL,
IM IN UPSTATE NEW YORK (OSWEGO,NY) AND HAVE A QUESTION ON HAND AUGERS. I CANT AFFORD A GAS AUGER AT THIS TIME , SO IM BUYING A STRIKEMASTER HAND AUGER AND HAVE TO DECIDE ON EITHER THE MORA OR THE LAZER. ANY EXPIRENCE OR SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED.FLAG!!!

[Guest]

Get the Lazer. For the extra 30 or so bucks more, you won't regret it. The difference between the two is like night and day.

Like said, throw in the extra bucks and get a lazer, makes the blue auger look like its standing still.

[Guest]

Yes Sir, buy the lazer... I have a 6" lazer hand auger, and I can beat almost any power auger through the ice.
They work slick.

Buy the lazer. Cuts through the ice twice as fast as the mora.

[Guest]

Just in case you need to read it again - get the lazer. Not much more than the mora - but a lot easier to cut a hole with.

[Guest]

Easiest decision you will make this year... buy the lazer. A better question might be, how many of us have given away a mora after buying a lazer?

[Dave]

Buy the Mora! ........lol.........just kiddin'. I think you know everyone's opinion already........LAZER!

[slick2526]

I still use a Mora. I regret that We didnt throw in the extra bucks to get a lazer.

[BLACKJACK]

Get the Lazer AND downsize to a 5" or even a 4", when the ice starts getting 2-3 feet thick you'll appreciate it. Any fish that you'll catch in MN will go up a 5" hole and if you mostly panfish, the 4" hole will work.

[NorthWoodsGuy]

I've owned both and I will never own a Mora again. The Lazer IS that much better. I started having a little difficulty when the ice was about 24" thick.

[Guest]

Thank you all for the info, I'v bought the lazer 6" and cant wait for ice to try it out . bought the 6" as that was the only choice either a mora 6" or lazer 6" in stock at Wal- mart.Flag!!!
P.S. Will you guys send some of that ice my way Please?

[Guest]

Go with the Lazer 7. I lost a few crappies that were too big through the six inch. The lazer cuts so nice.

[Creek Kid]

I had a Mora and a friend of mine showed up with a Lazer - I never touched a Mora again. The extra money doesn't even come close to now much better the Lazer is! You'll spend the "extra" money when you throw the Mora away anyway.

[Crappieman]

I hate to say this, but I broke my Mora this weekend , and now I have told my wife I have to go out a buy a Lazer. I will never buy a Mora again

[Dave]

CNYICEMAN, we were all kiddin' ya. We all like the Mora better.....lol

This ice free time is driving me nuts.

[Guest]

Thanks jacobm for the help, looks like I will be buying a Lazer, now the question is what size? The 6", or the 8", what do you think?

[The Chemist]

Get the 6". Unless you plan on catching huge fish all the time you are much better off with the 6". I have a 5" that I have used in town. I have also used an 8" and a 10". I would never buy a 10" again I never got through the ice. Keep things easy and make your fishing enjoyable. Also you can drill overlapping holes to land those bigger ones anyways.

[Guest]

I wouldn't go any larger than a 6". For every inch in diamter you increase in size, it takes twice as much energy to drill a hole. Well maybe not twice as much, but it is more work and you will have to get your blades sharpened more often. I have a 7" and wish I would have bought a 6" or maybe even a 5"---although a 5" may get a little small when using a vexilar.

good fishing

jacobm: I just got a Vexilar and was able to run it in a 5"hole w/ a bobber.

If you're looking for an auger got to HSOList and the heading Icefishing. Then do a comparison according to whatlocal stores sell them for.
