Does anyone have the mr heater buddy. It is the square shaped heater that uses propane and is safe for tents. I need to replace my heater and have been thinking about this one. It was about 100$ when it came out a few years ago but I saw it at smith and edwards today for 75$ Can anyone tell me if it works well. We had a sub par heater last year at the sulpher creek derby and I want to make sure I have a better one this year.
I was also looking at all the other new ice fishing gear and I was wondering if anyone can tell me the advantages of having a rod that you tape your reel to it with electrical tape? For example the Dave Genz series by berkly. I have read some of his ice fishing books but it never explains why they prefer this method. The rod seems to be exactly what I want but I can't get past the tape thing. What rods have you found to be the best for perch fishing and trout fishing? I am looking to add a few to my collection. I was also looking at reels. In the past I have always used spinning reels but I saw a few ultra light weight baitcasters for a good price today and thought I might give it a try.
One more thing I am looking for a light weight hand auger to use when I don't want to deal with my power auger. I am looking for something cheap does anyone have any suggestions. As you can probably tell I am really excited about ice fishing and since I can't go yet all I can do is gear up and talk about it. Hopefully we get more ice this year.
