slush inhaler

[rocki]

is it worth the $$$? never used one, and got a new wheel house this year, let me know how they work.

If you fish north of the deer shotgun/rifle line it will be worth your money, especially with the wheel house. I returned mine because it was too much weight and not worth it lugging around a portable. If you move your wheelhouse a lot, it's a great idea.

Absolutly worth the $$ if you have a wheel house. It is a huge timesaver. As stated above, probably not necessary in a portable.

I've had mine for three full seasons coming up on four. As the others have said it is absolutely worth the money in a permanent, especially one that is elevated off the ice like mine. I have about 14" of space between my floor and the ice. The inhaler saves me a lot of scooping, and backaches. I wish someone would talk them into making a shorter version for portables.

You can clean ahole great in one swipe. It work awsome on thick ice. I drill holes and trouble runs behind and inhales the ice. A must have for Red Lake!

If you got a wheel house, go get yourself one....You will be happy you did. I've got 2. If you fish Red, it's a huge back / time saver. Only problem is your friends will want to use yours.

Enjoy the new house.

How much does the 8" version cost?

[hoggs222]

I have a 10" inhaler for the wheelhouse. It saves time. If you go slower with it you will get nearly everything in one scoop.

It's a little bulky, but it can go right outside after you're done using it.

[skies_and_eyes]

it is a great tool that saves time, if used in the right way, it works wonders

Cabelas has both sizes (8" & 10") for the same price.

$49.99

Sportsman Guide does the same but for like $70 non member and $62 member.

It is a must have. We've had ours two seasons? Maybe three, I lose track. Ours broke last year, the metal bar comes out of the flip panel thingy. It pops in easy enough and we're back in business. It's probably and easy fix, just haven't gotten around to it. With a wheel house, and moving a lot you'll wonder how you got along with out it. If you don't have it yet pick up the scoop with the long handle. It'll save your back too. I've seen broken hockey sticks with your broken scoops work as well too.
