Gas Powered Auger - clarkgriswald911 - 11-08-2008 I am looking to purchase a new gas powered auger for my christmas present. Does anyone recommend a certain brand or type?? Thanks, Hope [signature] Re: [clarkgriswald911] Gas Powered Auger - RyanCreek - 11-08-2008 Strikemaster ice augers. Not super expensive, yet tough and reliable. They've been around for over 60 years, so you can trust them. Here's a strikemaster promo video, it says it all [url "http://www.strikemaster.com/flash/web_promo.html"]http://www.strikemaster.com/flash/web_promo.html[/url] Check out the link below for a good model at Cabelas. If you want to power up you can always do that with another model, just depends on how much you want to spend.

You are going to get a lot of individual opinions...based on individual experience. Good as a base to conduct your own research but should not be used as the sole reason for buying or not buying an auger. Do your homework and decide what is best for you...for your style of fishing, your budget, etc.[/#0000ff] [#0000ff][/#0000ff] [#0000ff]I have either owned or used just about every make and model on the market. Most will work...at least some of the time...for some of the people. But, even among the best models, there can be lemons, just like with cars. And even among those that are the cheapest and have the worst reputations there will be guys who have had them for years and swear by them.

Time will tell.[/#0000ff] [#0000ff][/#0000ff] [#0000ff]Here is my favorite new entry. Should be great for really tough conditions.[/#0000ff] [#0000ff][/#0000ff] [inline "SUPER ICE AUGER.JPG"] [signature] Re: [line_dangler] Gas Powered Auger - JBinUTAH - 11-14-2008 [quote line_dangler][font "Times New Roman"][#000000]Jiffy 3HP.[/#000000][/font] [url "http://www.jiffyonice.com/power_drills.htm#3hp[/quote"]http://www.jiffyonice.com/power_drills.htm#3hp[/quote[/url]] I agree!
