one man flip with a seat

[ChadT]

I looked through the first few pages and seeing the search isn't working for me, i had to post this one up. sorry if it has been asked before.

I'm looking for a one man flip over that has a built in seat, and is around $200...it is probably going to be tough, but i'm looking It also needs to fit in the back of my jeep, and with the seats folded down, it less than 58" long...

I liked the Frabill Recon, but it doesn't come with a seat... are there any other singles in the price range? or am i stuck looking for a used (which i have found to be beat to heck)...

Otter has their Den on closeout for $288. I know it's more than you noted you wanted to spend, but I can only believe it's a nice house. I have a cabin and I can fit it into the back of my GMC Envoy with the seats folded down. The den is listed at 56", which should fit for you.

I believe the otter package comes with a seat and cover. It's a great deal if you look at the original price. I believe otter is discontinuing this model and replacing it with the cottage, which is a little wider.

check out the scout or the pro by clam

Mills Fleet Farm has a sale on Dave Genz, Fish Trap Scout made by The Clam on sale for 179.00, that is an excellent price for a great name brand ice house, i'd buy one myself but am looking for something bigger.

under $200 you're looking at a fishtrap scout or a frabil recon.

[metrojoe]

Fish Trap Scout or Pro comes with a seat. The scout can be had for around $200. Watch for sales.

[ChadT]

would the fish trap scout include a seat?

I'd be looking at a cover and a seat then too. the Otter den doesn't sound bad once you look at whats included.

on edit: hey, you beat me to it...

I picked up a Den at that price and it really is a fantastic house. Well worth the money, the seat is great and the cover is too. It is a very roomy 1 man house. I like it better than the FT Pro that I also looked at because the sled is a little longer and bigger which is much more functional on the ice.

It is such a great deal for what you get.

Shaggzz26,

You should probably remove the link to the Fleet Farm ad(rules). But the scout is arguably the best 1-man run-n-gun. The Otter Den is nice, too. But it's larger and little harder to run and gun. It's actually not much smaller than the Fish Trap Guide.

[Shaggzz26]

Thanks for removing and sorry... my bad...

If I were you, I'd wait it out till the end of the season and then look for a new fish houes. I did that and found a Fish Trap Pro by Dave Genz for 189 or something similar. They are a very nice house and the seat is very comfortable.

I picked up a used Scout for $75 this season and love it! its light(47 lbs) and easy to mave around by yourself and it does come with a seat. the Frabill recon is closely priced but does not come with a seat.

I have a Scout, Pro and Guide and prefer the Scout for many reasons. It's light, easy to move around and you don't have to extend any poles. It fishes great and the seat is comfy too.

Good luck,

Corey Bechtold

Well, that's the quote of the year for me Corey, thanks. It's good to hear that from a guy that has similar size shelters.

I've already got the large house (Canvas Craft Magnum size), but I want a small run-and-gun house. I have an older Fish Trap, but it doesn't have a door(Hey, I may sit for a spell on occasion ). I had been going back and forth between the Scout and the Pro and couldn't decide. Since the sled size is the same, the Pro can't carry anymore gear, and since I'm only gonna use one hole in my run-n-gun, I'm not concerned about extra space for that. It's nice not to have to mess with extending the poles. Yeah, I'm a bigger guy (6', 250#), but I've sat in the Scout many times, and I think it will work great as a second (one man-one hole) sled.

anyone seen the Eskimo 150? $250 at Cabelas. never really seen it mentioned...

[ChadT]

also, great replies here guys. I really appreciate it.

I like the fish trap pro - watch for sales starting in a month or two - you could still use it for late ice!

I like the fish trap pro

That would be my choice. I'm going on the third cover for my Frabil in two years. I would burn it to the ground for fun if I got the ok to buy the Pro.
