frabill "commando"

[dairyman]

anybody got any pictures of the inside of the "commando? I'd like to buy one but would like to see a few more pictures of it

I don't have pics, but I have the house. I bought it so I would have a smaller house than my Yukon for pulling by hand. I can fit all my gear in easily and I heat it with a sunflower. It is long enough to easily fit my Strikemaster Auger as well.

I did not like the seat in it. It does not slide backwards/forwards at all. I felt that I was crowding my holes and lost fishable area. I took the seat out and now use a folding camp chair. It is lighter and there is a cup holder in the armrest. With the folding chair I just sit with my feet in the tub as well, and it really opened up the fishable area. I thought about getting the next level down to save money, but it did not have a zipper door. I went with the Commando and overall I have been very happy with it.

I got the Recon DLX and I really wish it had a zipper door. For the $180 I paid for it I'm not complaining at all, but it's not the most wind proof shack in the world. I removed the seat as well. It seamed to just make it more bulky, I use a bucket with a seat which is nice for storing tip-ups and my vex while heading out. Maybe I'll give a folding chair a try.

I liked the chair for the fact that it has a place for my beer But I like the bucket idea for storing my stuff. Now I am so torn.

I also run the New Frabill Commando and I had the same reservations with the seat positioning. But I am in the process of fix'n that situation. I am moving the seat back to near mid point ( back 1/3), and I am retrofitting a slide adjustment. I'm not loosing the seat...no way...like it too much.

Other than the seat possitining I'm good with the whole package, quality, height, weight, fishable area...all good for me..plus I have handy storage and lighting Tweaks installed that free up a lot of tub space.

I also have the frabill commando and I like everything but where the fabric on the base is not attached to the tub all the way to the front buy the seat to keep the wind out.There is too much of an opening on both sides they should have made the rubber grommet go all the way to the front on both sides.Other than that I love it .Does anyone else have this problem?
