[QUOTE="Brett58852, post: 154360, member: 2475"] I run an Ice Gator powerhead with the 9.5" auger. Zero doubt in my mind that it is the fastest cutting and smoothest breakthrough out there, but beware of how quickly it goes through blades on Lake Sacajawea and also Lake Winnipeg. I've become well versed in sharpening blades, so it doesn't bother me too terribly much. Its unfortunate that they are now incredibly expensive, but being under new ownership should remove the massive frustration in trying to get parts. I also had it paired with a 8" K-Drill and it was incredible. If only Vexilar would come out with a 10" version. It would be my go-to setup for sure. For the dirty ice areas I fish I think the chipper style work best as long as you have a high RPM powerhead, so pushing the auger through the ice isn't a factor. Mine generally still pulls its way down as long as its spinning fast enough and the blade is sharp. Our guide in Canada was running an Eskimo and he even went through a set of blades, just not nearly as fast as I did with mine. [/QUOTE]
