Armo_1 how did your Ice Pole build go? I am looking at doing the same thing. Wondering if you would be willing to share some pictures of what you did. Thanks

Are any of you guys running the Helix 7 with the GPS with a Dakota Lithium battery? Just wondering what kind of run time you get. With the regular batteries, mine did not last very long on a single charge. I have a 14 amp hour battery on it now but it is so heavy.

So what batteries are you guys running for these. I switched to the Helix 7 G2 last year and ended up using a large battery to make it all day. Has anyone ran a lithium battery on a helix with better results?

Like others have said, thanks Jamin for all to work and coordination you have done on these battery buy groups.

Jamin, I am not sure what you have me down for, but I will take two batteries and one charger. Thank you.

Do you ever come to South Dakota to fish? I am interested in your heater, just to far of a drive to come get it.

Sounds good.

Hey Jamin, just wondering if you have gotten any more interest in doing a second group buy. I am interested if you do another round

I actually just ran my DI G2N for the first time this weekend. Worked great, love the maps. I mounted on a genz box, put a bigger 12ah battery on it cause the smaller batteries just dont last real long.

I have a 24″ LED, TV/DVD player combo. I leave it on all year round, and have never had a problem. I also made sure it was 12 volt, so I can watch tv with out the generator running. I have a direct vent heater so I dont need power for that. I rarely need to plug my generator in. I can run my shack for about 5 days without charging which is very nice. Just a thought to keep in mind.

Stopped at the Runnings in Brookings this weekend. No fly line left. any place online to get it cheap? Everything I have found is pretty expensive.

Thanks

Thank you guys very much. I am heading to Brookings today actually before I go fishing. Looks like I have a little work to do before I start fishing with the rattle reels.

Not trying to pirate your thread, but McCord, where do you buy the fly line?

Anyone hear any thing on the LX-9?? Still waiting for an update??

I would be interested if Tim doesnt take them both.

Joe, I agree, that is why I am keeping my solo. I truly dont mind drilling holes with it. Keep sharp blades on them and watch out. Just wanted something for in the shack that doesnt stink the place up and throw slush and chips everywhere.

Ok, thanks guys, I really appreciate all the comments. I think I am going to keep the Ion. Wont get to test it much this year as the ice is going to be gone soon, but hopefully it works well next year!

Brian, I have a 2.5 HP LazerMag for running and gunning. I know everyone says they are heavy and they need gas but drills need batteries so you are still carrying around extra things to get holes drilled in the ice. I will use my gas auger for days when I am drilling hundreds of holes. I am pretty much just wondering if an Ion or Kdrill would be better for the wheel house and a few tip up holes.

SOLD

How much would you want for it??

Dirty Jigger, where are you from? I live in South Dakota, and have a 8″ Lazer Mag. I was thinking about buying a chipper to re open holes in the ice shack. I might be willing to trade if you ever make it to South Dakota to Fish.

Do you ever get towards South Dakota?

I only have the free version and just ended with over $32,000. Very addicting!!

I drew a tag in Wyoming this year. I bought a pair of the Lowas and have been very impressed. It took a couple weeks to break them in, but after that painful process they are an amazing boot. Great support and very comfortable.

Ok I have the small round. Thanks for the info though.
