[QUOTE="DakotaGreg, post: 363106, member: 7622"] Theres endless discussion on rods, augers, and tackle, but what do you use that might be unique or rarely considered? 1. Official Boga Grip The 7$ rapala one will work but not nearly as good for larger fish. The boga rotates, locks better, and has a quality scale but its over 100$. Big pike and catfish can roll all they want and the Boga grip will just spin with the fish. Hold fish for a photo and release. I never even touch pike anymore. It hangs on the ice house wall next to a forceps. I have both sizes. Dont drop down hole but cork handle might float it. 2. Hand Axe I use a stainless steel (wont rust) Swedish hand axe that fits in my little ice tackle bag. Today the trailer jack was frozen under 4 inches of ice. Chipped it out in no time. Use it to break up ice holes in the morning. Back end makes a nice hammer too. No need to carry a hammer. Early ice I just chip holes and wont even carry an auger. 3. Ice House accessories Stainless steele (i hate plastic) collapsable drink holders that mount to the wall. Amazon had mine. 35$ each. Fold into wall and can be adjusted for tightness. Theres no slop in these. Metal paper towel dispenser Popaplate paper plate dispenser Auger Mount off Amazon. Dont travel with auger in it but it keeps auger nicely mounted on wall and just slides off. Fits ions and strikemasters. Coat hangers. Mount these all around the walls. Hang garbage bags, tools, tackle, and coat. Next thing i want, insulated shag rug for floor by sofa. Also an RV mattress. The ice castle bottom bed is not even. [/QUOTE]
