New product lets anglers convert
hand auger to power auger
Mike Cook

There is a new product out that some of you ice
fishermen just have to have. I was lucky enough to try one when
we had ice on Cheney that one Saturday the first part of December.
I had my most enjoyable ice trip ever, even though the fishing
was tough. OK, OK enough with the suspence. The product is called
the easy auger and you can only get it from Zeiner's Angler Supply.
I was skeptic at first to tell you the truth. But this product
is the coolest thing since the carolina rig. It is an adapter
that connects your hand auger to your cordless drill motor. I
drilled 20 holes through 4 inches of ice and zipped right through
it like it was butter. I noticed no drain in my drill motor battery
even after the last hole.
My drill motor is a 3 year old 18 volt craftsman
that has done some serious deck buiding. The only problem I see
with the Easy Auger is the possibility of the drill chuck coming
loose as the auger clears ice and hits water. Then your auger
will hit the bottom of the lake. But the dirrections tell you
to tighten you chuck after each hole and if you do that you should
have no problem.
So if you have a hand auger and a drill motor,
do yourself a favor and get down to Zeiner's and get you one
of these. 10 bucks is a small price to pay for a power ice auger.
Get one for a friend, they will really appreciate it.
Now let's just hope for ice on the lakes. But it's
not like spending 400 dollars on a power auger and sitting around
hoping for thick enough ice
to get out on.
This adapter is designed
for an auger with approximately .70 female slip receptacle with
1/4" pinning hole.
Editor's Note: You can order the Easy Auger online
by going to Zeiner's
Shopping Cart.
