Does anyone know what strikemasters most powerful gas auger was. I have the laser mag but see there is a mag express and also mag three that says 49cc. I’m just curious about maybe purchasing there most powerful one to have hanging in the man cave.
There were a few 3hp strikemaster augers. One was a tecumseh and one was the solo 154.
I looked it up, it was the tecumseh “cobra” 3hp. It would be a good wall hanger. Might come in handy if you need to drill in some fence posts too.
Thanks Dave.
Looks like there was a cobra pro 3.5 hp. Might have track one down

those things had some serious power. felt like they could rip your arms off if it caught on the ice and you weren’t bracing for it.
A once main staple ten years ago now antique . Pretty crazy how fast electric augers took over . Still line to hear one off in the distance giving it hell .
I have a 10″ strike master cobra I’m looking to part ways with. PM me if interested.

I still use my gas strikemaster with no issues – thing runs mint. Electrics are nice and all but I couldn’t justify the cost when my gasser still works great. Also, seems like they get superseded by a newer and better version every year and guys are constantly upgrading.
Whenever my gas auger bites the dust, I’ll make the switch but for now, gas is king. Plus I don’t like how you have to baby the batteries and keep them from getting cold. Its ICE fishing! Anything that can’t stay out in the elements is a questionable choice for this sport.
I have a solo 154, good look finding parts lol. I have been searching high and low for parts, you can find them but dang those can be high.
The electric augers arent that tough to take care of. Just keep the batteries charged and remove them and keep in the fish house when not in use. The rest of it can sit outside no issues but the batteries prefer to be warm and snuggly.

Does H2Outfitters in Big Lake still have parts? That is where I was directed to last time I needed some. Their phone #763-262-2628

That is about it lol. I have to gas tank line from them.
I was out fishing the other day and I heard a gasser ripping, brought a smile to my face. I thought about bringing mine out every once in a while just for fun.
Mine has hung on the wall in my Garage for at 5-6 years now. I should pull it down and see if it will even start. My guess is it will not. Should just get rid of it. I looked at selling it a few years ago and there were a ton of them for sale for almost nothing.

I get it. Just a minor inconvenience. My only other knock on electric is you’re kind of SOL if the battery craps out. Not like you can go get more gas and oil quick from the gas station and the replacement batteries are pricey. Not sure how I’d feel going on a long trip to LOTW or URL without a backup battery so that means I’d probably buy 2 and that makes the initial investment even more expensive.

That’s exactly why I thought about looking for one, they are very reasonably priced now.

my strikemaster still runs great and I’ve only cleaned the carbs once in the ~15 years I’ve owned it. Add some fresh gas and I’m always good to go.
Starting to see 12 inches of ice here in WI, so soon it will be time to put the electric away and bring out the gas auger!
