I talked to a few guys that tested the Strike Lite last season and really liked the auger. No problems during their testing and they loved how quiet and light the augers were. I did hear, they are a little slower at cutting then the Lazer or 224 2 Strokes. But for the general public who bought them this year, the jury is still out, as I havent heard any reports as of yet. Most people are still just getting ready to punch some holes with them. Good test results last season, but the real results will be seen at the end of the season. The dang thing looks and feels great and I can't wait to use one on the ice!!!

I do think you guys made a good purchase though!!! Cause even if you were to experience problems, this includes any auger from StrikeMaster, their customer service department stands behind their products 110%!

Well guys...

My dad had decided to upgrade from the old Jiffy 3hp and the first thing out of his mouth to me was the Strike-Lite. He's really intrigued with the 4 stroke and has always been impressed with my Lazer Express.

Sounds like we may be picking it up this weekend. I'm not sure who's more excited. grin.gif If he does get it, I'll be sure to give the auger a workout and relay my experiences.

I took one out that we had gotten as a test unit today. It was a pretty nice auger. I stoped a local lake and let a few other guys try it out too. Everyone was pretty impressed. If I didn't have a perfectly good Jiffy, I may consider purchasing one.

That plastic auger kind of scares me.

It doesn't scare me one bit.

From my investigations, the plastic is just the flighting on the auger. I believe (but not 100% sure) that there is a metal shaft that still connects the cutting head to the auger. Like I said, we're checking them out this weekend, a little more closely than I have in the past.

      Upper Red’s been doing what she does—giving up fish if we’re out there early and paying attention.   Walleye bite’s solid in 6 to 9 feet, especially just off the breaks. Pre-dawn into first light is where it’s at. Shiners on a slow drift—still the ticket.   Later in the day, it slows down, but if we move around and work those inside turns or subtle drops, we can still find fish.   It’s not complicated—just good spring fishing. Clean air, steady water, and enough bites to make it worth the drive.

      Leech made you earn it this week. Wind moved through most days, shifting the bait. Walleyes were spotty, but a few were pulled around Sand Point and Goose Island with slow jigs and shiners—nothing fancy, just working the spots slow.   Crappies gave a nice surprise one calm evening in the flooded reeds—5 to 8 feet, little pink jig under a slip bobber. When they showed up, it was fast and fun for about a half hour.   The trick right now? Stay patient and don’t overthink it. Leech’ll give up fish, just not to folks in a rush.

      Mille Lacs was steady—not fast, but steady. Walleyes are hitting in 6 to 12 feet, especially on gravel edges with a bit of weed growth. A plain red hook and leech is still the go-to—keeps things simple and productive.   Best bite’s been early morning or just before dusk. Cloud cover helps. Smallmouth are starting to show on rock piles and wind-blown points, but they’re not fired up yet. A few more warm days, and they’ll be on.   Overall? Not a lights-out bite, but a good, honest day if we put the time in.

      Greetings,   My buddy and I are headed to the Big V in early June. We've been up there the last two years around the same time. The one fish that eludes us is, surpringly, bluegill.   Here in my home state of Nebraska, if I throw a beetle spin into any sort of structure from spring to fall, I'm guaranteed to catch decent sized bluegill and the occasional crappie. When we're at vermilion, however, we only catch bass and a rare perch on the beetle spins.   Can anyone help me understand why this is? We've tried every shallow structure we can find but we've never caught a single blue. This type of lake is entirely different to what we normally fish (and way colder) so I'm completely unfamiliar with their habits.   I would also love to know where the crappie are during this time of year. We mostly target bass and walleye, but, we'd love to have some ultralight fun with panfish.   Thanks!
