Fishing Michigan

Coninueing with SM brand augers, the company has revamped its website to make it more user friendly for the ice angler.  Replacement parts, new parts and accessories are all available now on the website.  This is helpful, three years ago I had to purchase a new fuel tank for my Mag Express when another angler leaned it against the trailer, where it then fell and cracked my tank.  I called then, but didn’t know what I was going to be getting, now its all there for the comsumer to see online.

Hand Auger Accessories

Power Auger Accessories

One thing you can do after purchasing a StrikeMaster Power Auger, is to go out and make it twice as useful in the long run.  I did this several years ago, and never regretted spending the extra money involved.  So this is the meat and spuds of it….get a second lower unit to go with the one that came with your auger at the time of purchase.

Out of the box my auger was a 10″  Lazer Mag Express.  Perfect for pike and big water walleye fishing, but a little big for chasing bluegills and crappie.  My solution back then was to purchase a 7 inch lower unit that fit my 2 hp power head, thus maximizing my auger for all types of fishing.  Now you can do that too, online!

You can either go bigger, or like me, get a drill unit smaller than what came in the box.  Look at the drill unit ” webpage ” to see what your options are.

For years StrikeMaster has offered a blade exchange program to the owners of their hand and power augers.  Click on ” Exchange Program ” to see the new rates for the program, and the shipping charges.  Its an excellent time to get the blades you need a head of time before the season starts this winter.
