Arjon Synkro


Tass03

Question

Just wondering if anyone has heard of an Arjon Synkro no. 5153 ice auger. I'm trying to find out how old it is, and possible value. I can't even find a picture of one.

Not sure if you can look up this patent# I have it up on the screen but can't seem to copy it?  It was patterned in 1974 by some Swedish guy. Good Luck and Welcome to the forum! :)

 

United States Patent US3797588

I found that Arvid Jonsson applied for a patent in 1971. Looks like it was granted in 74. Mine says Pat. Pend. on that part, so I would guess it's between 71 and 73. It's very hard to find anything else on it

A good way to get a quick handle on value is to look on eeebbbaaayyy (bite me auto editor) to see if any are for sale or have sold and what the sellers are asking or have gotten.  

I did a quick search on "arjon" and saw mostly refrigerator magnets, and women's clothes, with a couple of lures and a couple of rods in the mix.

I've looked and found one post, but it was so old there was no info on it. I'm emailing a man in Sweden about it. I hope he has some answers

Well darn that does look just like the one Tass03 posted about.  Nothing different to try a do a search on?  Have you been able to find new blades for it any where or can you still sharpen an edge on that one?

As I recall, in the 60's ice augers were a new thing at least in Minnesota.   We had one that was like a spoon that went around in a circle to cut the hole.    So, I'll go along with the late 60's or early 70's

Good luck. Let us know how it cuts when you give it a try.  Is this your only ice auger or do you have any others to drill with?

That's the one.   Got it at Montgomery Wards in the Midway, may it rest in peace.    Went in to buy it and there were some boxes so we got it in the box.   Paid, got home and opened the box and it was 6 of them.   I did see that folks are selling them on ebay.

Years ago I was spearing on a little lake that you can't even get on anymore because it all private now. 

This older farmer that lived on the lake came out with a little sled that had his fishing gear and a car battery on it.

He had made an Ice auger out of a old scoop auger end and a starting motor! That thing was scary as heck but drilled holes like a bat out of helll and I was amazed he could hold on to it on bare ice!  ?

That's awesome ingenuity at its finest. Still have my Grandpas old spoon auger hanging on the wall in my man cave room .

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
