shanty stakes

[fishinJohn]

Say you wanted to buy some stakes for a shanty that did not have them, where would you find them? Google is not helping me any. Do they come in different styles? Thanks.

Are you talking about ice-anchors? There are several sources for these, check out any of the major outdoor sporting goods stores or web sites. Good luck.

Clam makes some, as well as HT fishing, or just wait a couple months and get them anywhere.....

I use some big stainless steel eye screws for about 2$ each from Menards or any other hardware stores. I use a Flathead screwdriver as a handle to screw them into the ice. Besides I use the flathead screwwdrive as an ice chipper when need be.

You can take a piece of rope (1foot long or so)tie it into a loop.Then take the knot and drill a shallow hole 2to3 inches in the ice and freeze just the knot into the hole so you end up with a loop of rope that will hold up to the strongest wind you can imagine.c63Hope this helps.................c63

I'd forget but if I get really lazy and just tie a rope to the trailer hitch on the truck.

One time, that was about the only thing I could do.

The real ice anchors that ice climbers use are worth the extra bucks as they go in and out sweet . Once you use them you will never go back to those regular looking and acting screw deals similar to those used by dog owners etc . as they are work . The real ice anchors can be twisted in and out with only a finger and no real cranking involved .
