Where To Buy A Cordless Drill Ice Auger Adapter

When it comes to where to purchase your adapter for your ice fishing auger that will allow you to tap into the unused cordless drill yo have laying around the choice are pretty limited.  You can search around the net, but the best bet you have going for you is to fire up Ebay and look around.  I have included some great links above that display great prices on these adapters, but feel free to look on your own if you disagree.  You look at the other large sites around like Amazon and the like, but you won't find a price anywhere near that if you can even find the attachment at all.

This isn't to say that the adapter isn't without its draw backs.  The truth of the matter is that the batteries in even the most high end of cordless drills are not meant to be used under such heavy torque and under such cold conditions.  If you truly have a quality one it will get you through the ice and on to fishing, but if you have the run of the mill Target brand or Black and Decker you are going to be out of luck.  A sharp blade is imperative once you have taken the plunge and make sure to keep in mind that you can only drill so many holes before you are out of juice.  Unfortunately, you can't simply take your vexilar battery and hook it up and be on your merry way.  Once it craps out you are stuck unless you have the exact backup for that particular drill.

So there you have it, a great price on a cordless drill ice auger attachment.  From this point all you have to do if grab the remainder of your ice fishing gear like your ice fishing tip ups, ice fishing rods and ice fishing huts and get out there and chase some fish.

Where to find Used Ice Augers

When it comes time to find that used auger sometimes it can be a bit of a hassle locating it.  First and foremost you need to be confident that you are getting a square deal.  Generally a third party service that will ensure you get your product in good shape is in order.  If you order through Ebay you are able to pay with PayPal which is a great insurance policy that your auger will arrive in good shape.  If not simply dispute the claim and get your money back.  It actually is as simple in this case as doing that.  Amazon is another place to look, but the number of used ice augers is relatively few and therefore you can't really depend on them to find anything.  Craigslist is the other place to find used augers.  The beauty there is that you can meet face to face and test out the auger before actually purchasing it.  Of course, there is no guarantee here either and given the ever present danger in meeting people face to face these days it could be better to just buy it online.  Plus, you will need to pay for gas and your time to go and meet this person, and that doesn't even account for the times that you go and meet this person and they completely flake on you (sorry if I have brought my bad experiences to this site, but cest la vie I guess).

What to look for in a used ice auger for sale

Now comes the time when you lay your hard earned money down for your newest ice auger.  Buying used can be a phenomenal deal, but just be sure that you have your ducks in a row before making the final decision.  First and foremost I would say that you should be looking for a quality brand of auger.  Names that have been around for a while or ones that are known to have quality workmanship.  When it comes to hand augers perhaps the best one known for its quality is the Nils Master ice auger.  Sure they are a relatively johnny come lately to the game of ice fishing in North America having come from across the pond, but rest assured these augers are top notch.  The cutting head is more like a drill bit than the thin blades of nearly all hand augers.  Plus it can be easily turned into a powered auger simply by buying a powerhead later on.  The other major player out there is Strikemaster.  The Strikemaster Mora hand auger is the best selling auger in the world for a reason: great price for a good auger.  If you want to go up in price, they do offer the Strikemaster Lazer ice auger which is the fastest auger out there not named Nils.

If you are looking for a gas ice auger for sale, you should adhere to the same ideas as above.  Again, Nils makes high quality gas ice augers that are coupled with a Tecumseh powerhead to make the best combination of cutting speed on the market period.  They aren't cheap and they don't go for sale often, so if you see one I would suggest you snag it quickly.  Other great brands out there include Jiffy (which has been around for decade), Strikemaster and Eskimo.  If you go outside of these brands I think you are asking for trouble.

Finally electric ice augers have become more and more prominent over the year.  Finding a quality, used electric ice auger for sale is another story.  It seems that once people make their purchase of these they hold them tight.  If you can find one I would suggest either the Icegator ice auger, which is crazy fast and known to have great customer service or the Strikemaster electric ice auger.  One final thing of note here is that you should stay away from older electric augers, the technology has come a LONG ways since they were first introduced.  It would be a better use of your money to go with a brand new one if all that is available is an early 1990's or older auger.

One final thing to note is the reason that the person is selling their ice auger.  Granted this is an inexact science, but you would be amazed at how many times people buy new ice fishing gear and then rarely if ever use it.  If someone bought an auger and only used it 5 times and you get it for 50% of retail, you basically just got a brand new auger for half price.  Trust me, these deals are out there everywhere, just look.

So there you have it, an in depth guide as well as a lot of great deal on used ice augers.  When you are looking for the Jiffy ice auger for sale you can now know why and where to look.

Ebay is a great place to find an incredible deal on tip ups.  Check some of the great ones available right now.

As alluded to before the ice fishing tip up has been around for quite some time and has been extremely helpful to the ice angler.  Nearly everywhere you can wet a line through the ice affords multiple lines to be used to catch fish.  Obviously they can't all be fished first hand due to our only have a limited number of hands and eyes.  This is where a ice fishing tip up really shines.  Either set out as many as you are allowed by law to set up and wait for a flag to trip or use your jigging rod to actively pursue your fish and set another line as a tip up and periodically check to see if anything has taken the bait.

The ice fishing tip up works under a simple premise.  You place your bait on the hook and set it down the hole.  Often the depth is measured to be 1 to 2 feet off the bottom, but some people have found that a bait only a couple of feet below the ice works quite well, especially when ice fishing pike.  From here you put the flag around the reel and you have both a depth holder and a fish alarm.   When the fish takes the bait and runs with it the reel moves and trip the flag to point up.  Seeing as the flags are a bright color (often a blaze orange like color) you can see them from quite a distance and know that a fish has taken your bait.

Ice fishing tip up manufacturers

When it comes to tip ups there are several major brands that you should be keeping in mind.  The Beaver Dam Tip Up is a well known variety that is a top of the line tip up.  They are made of wood, sturdy, and revered by many ice anglers.  Out on the east coast the Jack Trap is a staple among ice fishermen.  Other brands of note are HT Enterprises and Berkley.

Today there are also what they call "thermal tip ups" that are round and cover up the entire ice hole.  The premise is that they will keep the hole open even in cold weather so common while on the hard water.  It also works wonders with keeping the light out of the depth s and scaring the fish.

So find a great deal on a tip up for sale and try them out this winter.

MarCum VX-1 Three-Color Sonar Ice System - Lowest Price    US $284.99

The Marcum VX-1 Flasher

When it comes to the best features on a baseline model you need to look at a Marcum VX-1 for sale. Unlike the Vexilar FL-8, the Marcum VX-1 includes a bottom zoom. This zoom is offered on many higher end models from competing companies. It is quite handy when you are fishing for bottom hugging fish as it splits the screen and gives you far better clarity of what is going on in the bottom of the water column. It also boasts a 3 color flasher that goes from green for the smallest objects to orange for the mid sized objects and finally red for the largest objects. Often that would entail that your lure being shown in green and the fish coming by in red.

It is these additional features that make this model is a favorite of die hard ice anglers. Its 2,000 watts of peak to peak power afford impressive target separation. And the adjustable zoom feature so helpful on the LX-3 comes along for the ride. This is helpful both for those suspended crappies as well as when fishing for lake trout.

Strikemaster Lazer Hand Ice Auger 6" LD-6    US $49.99

Carb Kit for Tecumseh Jiffy Ice Auger Model 30 and 31    US $14.98

The most common and powerful of augers is the gas ice auger. Unless you buy a 4 cycle gas ice auger you need to mix the gas put into these augers with a bit of 2 cycle oil. One key thing to remember about gas ice augers is that due to their small engine size and carburetor jets being relatively small the gas is very important to ensure they run correctly. If the gas you are using is over a couple of weeks old do yourself a favor and go get some fresh gas from the gas station. And if you are starting the auger for the first time of the year, make sure that you have purged the tank of last year’s gas and start anew.
When it comes to brands of gas ice augers there are several top brands to choose from. The most common brands on the ice today are the Strikemaster gas ice auger and the Jiffy gas ice augers. Known for years of solid reliability and superior customer service these brands are a staple of ice fishing equipment everywhere. One of the more prominent brands that is relatively new to the North American market are the Nils gas ice augers. The thing that sets this auger apart (other than the higher price tag!) is the cutting mechanism. With a standard gas ice auger you have a set of blades that are attached to the cutting head. These are relatively thin and work pretty well, but the Nils Master gas auger sports a cutting head that is more like a drill bit. When it comes to cutting ease it is truly in a league all by itself. The drill bit allows for a crazy sharp edge and a truly superior ice auger.
When it comes to choosing a gas ice auger the choices are many, but the thing to consider is that no matter which you choose you will be able to move around and catch more fish while on the ice.

JIFFY ICE FISHING AUGER CARBURATOR TECUMSEH 670-103    US $15.00

JIFFY ICE FISHING AUGER GAS TANK & CAP TECUMSEH 670-103    US $15.00

The reputation of Jiffy proceeds the auger.  When a person looks for Jiffy ice augers for sale they know they are getting a quality auger that will cut for many years.  For those that have been in the ice fishing game for any number of year you surely have seen your share of ice fishermen that have used Jiffy exclusively.  Long known for its great ability to re-auger out previously drilled holes after they have refrozen.  And for those that have ever tried this exact thing with other augers know that this is a lot to ask of an auger.  After a hole has refrozen it is very difficult to reauger it.  Now on a lake where there are holes are everywhere and you are in a portable ice house you can simply cut a hole near another and not worry about drilling in the exact location.  However, if you are in a permanent ice fishing house and on a hot spot once you leave for a night or two your holes invariably will freeze over.  Once you want to fish again you need to auger your hole again.  This is where the Jiffy ice augers shine.

Long a staple in an ice anglers ice fishing gear, the Jiffy auger is quite an important addition to just about anybody’s ice fishing equipment.

Ice fishing electronics have come a long way over the years.  From the old school Clearwater Classic ice fishing flasher to the latest and greatest Vexilar fish finder like the FL-20, people have been using flashers for years to put more fish on the ice.  The ice fishing underwater camera is a relatively new tool for ice anglers and has only really been prominent for the past decade or so.

The pioneer company in this field is the Aqua Vu.  Aqua Vu has several models available.  The Aqua Vu Scout is the baseline model from the company and is the most common model owned in the ice fishing world today. It has a skin around the camera that looks like a sunfish.  The high end model from Aqua Vu is the Aqua Vu Quad 4x4.  The 4x4 has 4 cameras and splits the screen in four equal parts.  The great part about this is that you can see in all directions to see if fish are coming and can also see more than 1 hole's fishing view at the same time.

Marcum has come along with a strong line to challenge Aqua Vu's dominance.  It's baseline model is the Marcum VS380.  It is a standard one camera model with a black and white screen.  Unlike the Aqua Vu Scout, the VS380 does not have a fish skin to cover the camera and blend in.  The Marcum VS825 is the top of the line Marcum model that has a flat screen and an amazing color spectrum.  If you haven't seen the underwater world in full color you are really missing out.

On the bargain basement end of the spectrum is the Fish TV underwater fishing camera which runs less than $100 and actually works reasonably well.  The problem of course is that there is a requirement to use C batteries which get very expensive very quickly.  If you are looking for a quick fix on a limited budget it does work as advertised.

The world of underwater ice fishing cameras is ever expanding.  If you ever wanted to see the world that a fish lives in up close and personal you owe it to yourself to pick up a model and head out to the lake.

Size Of Ice Fishing Reels

The first thing I consider when looking for an ice fishing reel is normally the size of the reel.  When it comes to ice fishing rods you are going to be using a relatively short and therefore light rod so keeping the reel small is important.  If you don’t you are going to end up with a reel that is far too big for your rod and the balance is going to be way off.  Normally the smallest reel size each manufacturer makes it the correct choice.  This is often considered the ultra light reel.  You want a reel that weighs less than 8 ounces most likely as it will then be well balanced with your rod.  That bass fishing reel that you use during the summer is likely too large to be an asset on the ice.

How Ball Bearings Affect Ice Fishing Reels

When it comes to fishing reels, ball bearings are an important aspect especially when it comes to how smooth the reel works.  In general, the more ball bearings the better the reel.  The low end reels almost all have only 2 ball bearings and with most of them you can really tell the difference.  I would steer you towards at least 4 ball bearings and the higher up you go often means a better reel.  To be sure, the quality of the bearings is quite important as 4 high end bearings is better than 10 standard or poor grade bearings, but you get my drift.  When you look at the top brands of reels such as Shimano, Tica, Pflueger, Daiwa and so forth almost all of the reels have 4 – 10 ball bearings inside.

How Drag Affects Your Ice Fishing Reel

One of the most overlooked areas of fishing reels that really have a large impact on the reels quality is the drag.  You want a drag that allows for a smooth release of line when that large fish with big shoulders takes your bait.  If you have a reel that has a choppy release of line it can really cost you on the ice.  Finding a reel that has a quality drag to go along with several ball bearings and in a small size is just the ticket for your ice fishing gear and will lead to great success on the hard water this winter.

Ice Fishing Reel Recommendations

If I were to suggest a group of reels that will suit you well on the ice I would likely start by saying to avoid the $20 reels that dominate your local sporting goods store.  You often get what you pay for when it comes to ice fishing equipment.  To that end, I would suggest the following three reels which have all served me well over the years:

Tica Cetus Series Ice Fishing Reels

It seems that few people outside of the ice fishing world know about these high quality reels, but this is my go to reel in my ice rod combos.  A smooth reel with an excellent drag and an especially small size all work perfectly on the ice.  I'm partial to the Tica Cetus SB500, but I've heard good things about the lower end Tica Cetus LF500 and the Tica Cetus GV500.

TICA SB 500 SB500 CETUS MINI FISHING SPINNING REEL 6B    US $35.90

TICA SS 500 SS500 CETUS MINI FISHING SPINNING REEL 6B    US $36.90

TICA SE 500 SE500 CETUS MINI FISHING SPINNING REEL 6B    US $33.90

The Pflueger Trion Ice Fishing Reel

Coming fully equipped with a 4 ball bearing system, plus 1 roller ball bearing it is smooth with a great drag and comes in a small size.  All with the quality Pflueger name.

Shimano Ice Fishing Reels

How can you go wrong with a great reel like the Shimano?  A great name that is well known throughout the fishing world for its high quality workmanship and long lasting use, the Shimano is a great choice on the ice.  For those willing to spend a good amount of money for a top of the line reel, the Shimano Stradic is hard to beat and will work as well or even better in the summer.  For the small size you want to target the Shimano Stradic 1000 series.

When it comes to the perfect ice fishing rod setup, oftentimes people overlook finding a great reel to finish the combo.  The reel has a great impact on your success out on the ice so it shouldn’t be overlooked.  Finding a high quality ice fishing reel doesn’t have to be a pipe dream, just use the above tips to fine tune your selection.

One key thing to remember is to make sure that the entire outside of the house is banked with snow to allow for the great insulation snow delivers.  This day we fished for 6 hours without having to wear any ice fishing gloves and staying plenty warm in the house.  If you ventured outside it was brutally cold, but very nice in the house itself.  This was great as the amount of ice fishing gear we required was much less than otherwise would have been necessary.

How have your experiences been in bitter cold using portable ice houses?
