Gear & Gadgets: Items to get you ready for ice fishing – Outdoor News
Ice Runner Fish Houses has introduced a new carrying rack system for this ice fishing season. They designed the Versa Rack system in order to make your ice fishing experience more enjoyable and more versatile. You can pretty much get everything you need for a day on the ice on your ATV without pulling an additional sled.
The Versa Auger Carrier makes hauling your ice auger a breeze. Two vertical supports accept any round auger bit and the locking clamp keeps it in place until you need it. The power head support can be adjusted and provides support for heavy gas auger heads as well.
The Versa Bucket Holder is the perfect accessory for ice fishing and works great for hunting and general utility work, too.
Dual bucket loops hold two five-gallon buckets and are secured with an attached bungee cord. It can be paired with the auger carrier for the perfect carrying combination.

SPOOLER ELITE REEL FOR HARDWATER ANGLING
The Clam Spooler Elite Reel has been very popular with ice anglers for many years. When using a spooler reel, the line has far less coiling effect which can help anglers feel extremely light bites and lessen lure spin for shy & finicky fish.
New for this ice season, the Clam Ice Spooler Elite Reel features a shallower spool, so anglers use less line spooling their reel, its improved 2.3:1 gear ratio, and is now available in three colors. With the Ice Spooler Elite Reel, anglers strip the line off by hand, ready to set the hook on their nex catch.
Clam Outdoors began as a manufacturer of quality ice fishing equipment over 30 years ago. The leader in the ice-fishing industry offers a full line of hardwater fishing supplies, including the Fish Trap® (flip over shelters), Clam™ pop-up hub-style shelters, IceArmor™ by Clam (outerwear: bibs, parkas, head & hand) and Clam Ice Fishing clothing (base layer, socks, boots).
