Best Ice Fishing Accessories
Ice anglers know that having the right gear is the difference between a good day and a great day on the ice. Being prepared not only keeps you safe and warm but also lets you focus on what matters. To help you get ready for the upcoming season, our Expert, Justin, is sharing a few of his top ice fishing accessories.
1. Amped Outdoors 32AH Lithium Battery
Clean, reliable power is essential for modern ice fishing. The Amped Outdoors 32AH Lithium Battery comes with a charger and provides all-day power for your graphs and accessories, so you'll never have to cut a trip short.
2. HD Shuttle and Pole
Keeping your electronics and gear organized is crucial. An HD shuttle and pole system keeps everything compact and protected. With its telescoping pole, it's extremely easy to set up and move, letting you hop from hole to hole efficiently.
3. Kahtoola Inc MICROspikes Ice Cleats
Ice safety is priority number one, and our Experts never leave the house without a pair of cleats. Slips and falls are dangerous, and a good set of cleats gives you the traction you need to walk confidently. These cleats are easy to wear and provide strong traction on the ice.
4. Clam Rechargeable Hand Warmer Heater
If you're a person who gets cold hands, this is a game-changer. The Clam Rechargeable Hand Warmer is a key piece of gear for staying comfortable. It features three heat settings to keep your hands warm and even doubles as a power bank to charge your phone.
6. Otter Pro Universal LED Light Kit
Don't let the short winter days end your trip. The Otter Universal Lights are a must-have for maximizing your time on the ice. Whether you run them in a hub house or a flip-over shelter, they get extremely bright and include a dimmer switch to set the perfect amount of light.
7. Strikemaster Maven Ice Auger
You can't catch fish if you can't get to the water. The Strikemaster Maven Ice Auger is the fastest auger on the market, drilling holes effortlessly. It comes in 8-in. or 10-in. models and includes two batteries, so you spend more time fishing and less time worrying about a dead battery.
8. Striker Apex Jacket And Bib
Lastly, your first line of defense against the cold is a quality bib and jacket. The Striker APEX Jacket and Bib offer incredible comfort and protection needed for the ice fishing season. Both are incredibly lightweight and feature PrimaLoft insulation designed to keep ice anglers warm without getting overheated on the ice.
