i heard walmart will not be handling ice fishing stuff anymore

[skeeterpro1]

THe real deal..Love them are very effective!!

[Seeker of Clayface]

I wouldn't use anything else.

[Ed Carlson]

Real deal, a smart system.

[Dean Schellinger]

love em, best thing if you have to fish outside when the line is icing up

[Northlander]

The only bobbers I ever use ice fishing are the icebusters and I use the bigger weighted ones in the summer. Real deal for sure.

[walleyeslammer]

I would never us a regular slip bobber again. I have fished outside in pretty cold temps before the ice buster freezes up whereas a regular one freezes if it is anywhere near freezing. Just my experience.

WalMart in Fairmont has stuff.......

[Agronomist_at_IA]

I was told today that Whatever walmart has left in inventory will be sold and will not restock anything from then on for ice fishing. Luck me, my closest walmart doesn't have anything left from last year and isn't bringing anything in.

Unless the SOB lied to me in the store today.

[zamboni]

It may depend on each individual store. I remember when WalMart was going to cut selling guns, and it was left up to each individual store manager.

[Agronomist_at_IA]

Hmmm???? Maybe if I go across the boader to the north they'll have stuff.

[NAMASafetyDirector]

The ice buster is the only bobber I have used in the last 12 years, and the only thing I will use till they come up with something better, whatever that could be??

[Surface Tension]

I'm an ice buster fan too. Before I learned of these I'd use a slip bobber. We know what happens in cold temps to slip bobbers.

Being able to clip the ice buster on and off is another plus.

Because of the versatility I'll use them in the summer too.

[Reservoir Dawg]

where do you get these bobbers?

They are a sponser on this web site.

Look around at other fisherman out on the ice you will see huhdreds of these, for good reason.

[DTro]

yep, what everyone else said

the real deal

[Matt Johnson]

Real deal... no doubt about it. When set properly, the fish will feel no resistance... a very important feature. They also keep the knot and slide-portion under the water, saves on freeze-up.

You can cut-down an Ice Buster to match any presentation and situation... by far the most versatile bobber on the market, period.

If I ever use a bobber on the ice, the Ice Buster is the only one I'll use...

Bruce is around... I talk to him a few times each week.. I know he will be at the ice show again this year. At least that is what he told me this last week.

If you need to get ahold of him drop me an email...

[Big Dave2]

REAL DEAL FOR SURE!

[Deitz Dittrich]

Real deal!

[slipperybob]

If you save the peices you've cut, you can always toothpick them together...

[Jeremy airjer W]

I have at least 10 of them in the tackle box at any given time. Not to mention all of the trimmed ones. After a while you can look at one that is trimmed and know what lure it goes to.

One of the sweetest tricks was told to me by Bruce at the ice show a few years back. Trim it so that it just barely falls. Jig your presentation with the slow fall. One of my favorite techniques!

[AndyM]

I'm going to have to try that technique, never thought about that. These are by far the best bobbers I've used ice fishing.
