I heard someone put spray foam inside of it, haven’t heard if it worked or not though.
Spray foam on the underside.
Put a toilet paper tube wrapped in parchment/wax paper down the middle and fill up the base with foam. When it’s set and firm, pull the tube out, flatten the bottom with a saw from the side, and cut a thin slit for the line with a knife. Works pretty well, but not quite as well as a Beaver Dam wooden tip-up on a foam hole cover. That’s what I use when it’s really cold. I generally reserve the IFP for 20 degrees and up.
I’ll try to get pics of mine. Bought one and customized it with some foam and velcro. This way I can add a heat source underneath in the form of a handwarmer. Used it between -5&+5 on Saturday. No fish but the customizations seems to hlep.
Crap, realized I left it at the cabin. Won’t be able to get pics for a couple weeks.

I think those go for $5 at target. Which is like roughly half what Fleet Farm was asking for a stupid foam hole insulation thing. I like this because it has other uses as well. But I wonder how the AA batteries hold up in the extreme cold?
Do they work in an otter or just for outside ?

The poster said 5 hours in double-digit below-zero temps.
I like the idea of the bubbler and have one laying around, anyone have an idea how long batteries would last , let’s say in 10 degree weather
