Strikemaster Laser Mag 9" auger


rusty rapala

Recommended Posts

I picked up an end of the season bargin a few weeks ago, a 9" laser mag for $279 minus a 10% floor model discount along with a 10% birthday discount from the retailer. Final price $226. I was pretty excited until I found out that Strikemaster has discountinued the 9" for 2009. Do I need to be concerned about blades or do you think they will have them available for years to come?

That is an amazing price!! You got a heck of a deal. If you are concerned, call SM - I'm sure you'll be happy with their response. If really concerned, maybe you could convince them to trade up for an 8". I've used their customer service - its as good as any in the business IMO. Their located in Big Lake.

If you ever wanted to to 8" or 10", you can often find them used for a pretty good price and still come out ahead given the great price you paid for yours.

P.S. this is my 1000'th post ... yee-hah!!

My buddy had a three blade 9 inch lazer and SM gave him a brand new 8" auger (lower portion only with blades) because he was having problems with the 3 blade design. Hmmmmm....is your 9" SM a 3 blade or 2 blade design? Maybe that's why SM set him up because the 3 blade design was discontinued.

NCLaker....congrats on your 1000th post.

had the three blade nine, but was having problems. SM gave me a new two blade nine at no cost and even replaced the two extra set of blades I had. that was four years ago, still on the first set of blades, and I have drill a good amount of holes. should be able to findsome one to sharpen them, or am sure SM will have the blades in stock.

I called strikemaster today and told them my auger was hanging up at the bottom of the hole and they told me to see if the auger and or blades were made in China and if they were to bring it in and they would switch it out for a new Swedish lower unit. They also gave me the option of switching it out for an 8" instead of the 9" which has been discontinued. Now that is service at its best.

Helluva price! That is excellent service! Glad it worked out for you!!

I picked up a Jiffy 8 inch 2 HP @ Fleet for $289 at the end of Jan. Mine does the same thing- it hangs up at the bottom of the hole before it breaks through.

I just thought it was because it only has one blade and is a smaller engine.

I wonder if it's normal for that to happen??
