Questions on Ice Show

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm thinking of attending the show this weekend. My primary purpose is that I am shopping for a flip style shack. Are the deals at the show going to be better than I can find on sale, elsewhere?

I'm considering the Frabill XL Twin, Fish Trap Guide, Otter Lodge, and Eskimo QFII or QFIII. Any advu=ice would also be appreciated.

Thanks.

i am sure you are getting the same "deal" price they would normally offer. Your really benifit is having every brand, type, model, whatever, all in the same place at the same time. You get to try them all out with out driving all over town.

Well I own a Otter resort portable that I bought at the ice show 2 yrs. ago and I am very pleased with it so far. Very easy to load/unload, stays plenty warm, sets up in no time, and I can pull it behind my sled going 60 mph across the lake if I want. Everything fits in the sled of the shack, throw the cover on and away you go. Plenty of room when set up and well worth the money if you ask me.

You can usually do better at a major sporting-goods retailer by using their credit card. Most of them offer 10% off, and 12 month same as cash deals. And returning products that are a not quite right are much easier at a store than chasing down the manufacturer.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
