PAM ON AUGER BLADES

[Ryan84*]

Should you spray your blades after every use? How often? Do you use PAM or another product?

Thanks,

Ryan

I have never sprayed anything on my auger blades and have never had an issue.

Wouldn't worry about it - negligible results. And, if you bring your dog along ice fishing, it may lick the blades since it smells like cooking oil. Ouch - not good!

i have heard of folks doing it but have not tried myself. if you are super careful and never set your blades in the snow you should be alright.

with that being said the other day i was out on laker opener and the temp was 35 below and windy and there was nothing i could do...the water froze pretty much instantly...after about 5 or 6 holes i had a block of ice on my blades.

i think some pam would have kept some of the water off my blades. if i remember im going to try next time out

I have heard of people putting it on a shovel to keep the dirt from sticking, but not on an ice auger.

I tried it in the past without a noticeable difference. I don't try it anymore.

I did my buddies with WD40 and it worked wonders

Won't matter too much anymore now that the cold weather is gone. Quick, someone say jinx!

I have had luck with RemOil or Break Free CLP. Gun oils will leave a residual lube on the blades.

Like Clark used on the saucer sled on "Christmas Vacation"?

PerchRunner...I like that signature!!

Just be careful what you put on your blades, cuz you'll be dipping it right into the lake...

Sure, a little residue on an auger or two wont make much of a difference at all, and it's probably still cleaner than most boat engines dump into a lake, but it all adds up.

I guess a good point to using pam when popping your holes is that your fish is ready to hit the pan as soon as it comes out .

Any product with teflon or a dry spray aerosol will do a much better job than Pam or similiar products. I spray the bottom of my Frabill sled and auger with a dry spray aerosol (teflon)and it works wonders.

I just bought a SM Mag 2000, they (Strike Maser) recommended it. But I don't do it and it hasnt been an issue...

I've had the same for a year and have never done it. Have seen no problems.

I personally don"t put anything on mt blades but why not try some type of automotive wax.

[zepman]

That would work too but much more work than just spraying on.

In March when those heavy snowfalls come use some on the snoblower,it wont clog as easy.

But on a auger?? never did and I cant remember a time it was so clogged or frozen I needed it.
