What do you mean? They won’t sell the 10” auger without the power head?

I want to buy the lite flite bit only, I have a 10 inch already, just want the lite flite.

Has anyone seen the 10” Lite Flite at any of the retailers?

Manager in Scheels in Fargo told me his order only had them with a powerhead. No separate flytes.

I believe James confirmed in another thread that the 10″ would not be offered as a standalone bit this year, only with a powerhead.

You are correct if they did I would already own one. Sounds like we have to wait another year, why I have no clue.

Curious why you guys like the 10 inch holes that much more ? Seemed like they were borderline dangerous fishing around when I was around them last . Not a lot experience though .

Only reason I would want one is for my wheelhouse where I can spend days at a time with the same holes and they wouldn’t freeze in as fast

Could always just buy a 10″ Ultralight ION bit.

Why a 10″ bit? The people that use them understand why. Just like those that use a 6″ bit.

Different strokes. I actually use double overlapping 10″ holes.

I like them for in the wheel house mainly and after using the 10″ it is had to go back to smaller, just feels weird. Also I think it is easier to get fish out of.

I sure hope you’re marking those holes like a spear hole.
My skinny rear or a kid could go right down that no problem.

I would suggest not walking around on the St Croix river between Stillwater and Hudson. It’s absolutely littered with double 10’s and triple 8’s.

Come on Jon. Those 16 inch walleyes would slide right out a 6 inch hole no problem lol 😆 just kidding, giving you some sh!t

For real, it’s sad if they don’t mark those holes. Dogs skinny dudes, and kids all enjoy fishing the river as well. Let alone that would eat a wheeler tire. Marking a hole is just part of being responsible. When we do it, I always mark them.

Hell I would be happy with 16’s

I see Clam has a 10 inch bit only but I could not tell if it was lazer blades. Not interested but saw it and remembered this post.

Will a guy be able to run that 10″ lite flite on a drill or the 24 volt powerhead?

No.

I bet my drill would run it through a ft of ice. But that 24 volt will eat battery like no other

I talked to some of the Strikemaster guys at the show this weekend and they confirmed that the 10 lite will be available next year without the powerhead.

Easier to play a larger fish when the hole is larger-not worth it to me because I hole hop, but if you know you are only cutting a few I see the appeal.

Nice for tip ups when it’s cold

No.

Why would a drill not spin the 10 inch lite flite ? They will spin a 10 inch steel bit.
