1 man flip over

Looking to buy a 1 man flip over. I have an Otter XT Pro Lodge (hoping that my daughters would join me), but find myself fishing solo and the Lodge is heavy for me to load in my truck by myself; so looking to get a 1 man flip over. I am somewhat partial to Otter (not sure why) but it seems like the Clam Kenai is the way to go? Any thought or suggestions? I do not currently have a live scope…if I do at some point, is there enough room to fish 2 holes comfortably with a live scope and heater in a 1 man? Thanks.

I just bought an Eskimo Wide 1 XR this year and love it. The extension on the front gives you extra fishing space. Can easily fish 2 holes with room for your electronics. And, at 65# I can easily throw it in the back of my truck.

me personally…….i wouldnt go with a 1 man…..i have an old uninsulated dave genz flip over and i fish alone in it and still struggle for room. i’d deal with the extra weight!!!

but thats just me!!!!!

I would look into the Legend instead. It is 7″ wider and 1″ longer and 13 pounds heavier at 65 pounds. Trying to get a heater and livescope in will eat a lot of room so bigger is better. Another one might be the Nanook XL. Pull out one seat and your weight would be close to the Legend and your width would be 61″.

I have a VERY small one man Frabil that I really like. Space is very tight, but for me it is fine. NOT insulated, but because it is so small it is easy to heat with my lil buddy. I had to get rid of my bigger one man flip overs just because it was getting too hard for me to load on my own without taking everything out of it before lifting it. Now I just take out my auger and can lift it in by myself. Very easy to pull. Just beware that it is VERY small.

They are all getting so heavy with the quilted insulated fabric. A shack that small can stay plenty warm with a buddy heater. I’d rather have a lighter weight shack that I can lift easily and pull easily. I’m using a 2 man clam from 1997 that I got a new cover for. It’s uninsulated but very lightweight. I’m not sure what I will buy when this one wears out.
