Purchasing an Ice Shelter

by Scott Glorvigen
With all the various shelters on the market, it's down-right confusing when you're purchasing an ice shelter. Here are few tips to make your purchase a success:

Personal Mobility Preferences - Sit and Stay:
If you like to generally set up base in one spot and hit outlying areas with tip-ups you will want to look at the Frabill Speed Shaks or Venture. These shelters are big and roomy and allow you to fish with a group of buddies or children. If the action is dead, these shelters are more than easy to teardown and move.

Hunt Them Down:
If you like to go after the fish but get tired of waiting after 30 minutes, you will want to look at the Rangers, Arctic Caboose and Ultra Lite's. The shelters are designed to move quickly, and allow you to move around the ice all day long.

Value Added In:
No matter the price - look for quality. Does the shelter flip over easily and not bind? Are the parts stainless steel, or galvanized? Is the cover material going to last more than one season? Look for quality and you will have many happy days on the ice
