ice fishing

Strikemaster is entering the drill unit space in a big way!

Coming for the 2019-2020 ice season!  The lightweight Lite-Flite Lazer Drill Unit is designed to be used with any professional quality 18v or higher brushless electric drill or any strikemaster power head including the 40V!  Full length segmented flight is resin molded for durablility and weight in mind.  The heavy duty steel hex shaft and reinforced "T" connection give the unit added strength.  One thing that will seperate this from the other shaver unit is the Power Point that helps prevent the lightweight auger from walking when starting your hole.  It also includes the New Strikemaster NDA-3 Adapter that allow you to connect any Strikemaster power head and use either Strikemaster's hand auger or power auger extensions.  The real big thing is that these are going to be hitting the shelves in September at the lowest price point of the 3 drill units with the 8" model just $199!

Update:

“Never leave fish to find fish!” I remember clearly my grandpa telling me this every time we started catching fish and then the bite slowed down. It could have been trout, walleye, pike or perch it didn’t matter. It wasn’t until we hadn’t had a bite for at least an hour before we could search out another spot. I’ve heard that same phrase uttered over and over again, and now it just causes me to grin. The reason for that is that it’s great advice if your goal is simply to catch fish. It makes sense. But what if your goal is a little different? Let me challenge your thinking a little bit and see if you agree.

I like catching perch as much as the next guy. They are super fun, the action can be red hot and, of course, they are delicious! It’s great to take kids out and have them tangle with dinks all day, that’s one of the reasons I came to love this sport so much. But how many jumbos do you catch? What if you could head out and consistently catch 12”, 13”, 14+” slabs

There have never been so many options to simply put a hole in the ice.  Gas augers, electric augers, propane augers, hand augers, even augers that attach to your cordless drill.  Every style, type, and brand of auger has its Pros and Cons.  Depending on your ice auger to do the job you need when you need it is critical for your hardwater success.  We'll try and help narrow down your choice with our experiences with each auger class and model. 

Let’s get this first thing out of the way.
