Quickly Cruise the Lake With The Ice Auger Machine [VIDEO]

Nothing ruins a day of ice fishing quicker than finding out your hot spot isn't so hot anymore. What's worse is packing up your gear and finding a new place to fish. Well, life just got easier my friends. With Adam Ford's Ice Auger Machine, you can quickly cruise to your new honey hole without breaking a sweat. Check it out below:

Are electric ice augers better than gas powered ones?

Most ice anglers prefer electric ice augers over gas-powered because they're faster and lighter. However, gas-powered augers are typically more powerful and can drill more holes than an electric on a full charge.

If you're planning to drill 100 holes in an outing searching for fish, or you're dealing with very thick ice, a gas-powered auger might be best for you. But if you're looking for something light and portable and doesn't require the hassle of gasoline, an electric might be a better choice.

Electric Ice Augers pros and cons:

Pros:

• Lighter
• More portable
• Fast
• Quiet
• No exhaust

Cons:

• Not as powerful as gas-powered
• More expensive
• Extreme cold weather may drain the battery faster

Gas Powered Augers pros and cons:

Pros:

• More powerful than electric augers
• Can drill more holes with one tank
• Cheaper than electric models
• More durable

Cons:

• Heavy
• Loud
• Requires gas which can be messy, and is flammable
• Exhaust that you wouldn't want inside a fish house

You have lots of options on the market now, both electric and gas powered and whichever one you choose will come down to how you plan to use it (in an ice house, drilling dozens of holes in a day, etc) and how much power you need. But whichever you choose, it's always smart to go with as much power as you can afford, for a more successful outing.
