Most of the Devils Lake fisherman I know are switching to or at least getting a K-Drill for most of their fishing. Small, lightweight, and easily lays in the back seat. With most fisherman fishing out of their trucks and newer trucks having power converters built in keeping batteries charged isn't a problem as they bring their charging pack with. Those going on sleds say they just put the battery packs in an inside pocket of their coats to keep them warm and that helps them get a lot more holes. I know I'll be selling a couple of my older augers I never use anymore and be adding one.
