CARING FOR YOUR STRIKEMASTER AUGER

I like to cut holes, lots of holes. That’s why I use a StrikeMaster and have for many years. Every year before ice, I get my gear out and get it ready. I check the rope and make sure it is working easily.

Make sure you have new gas and oil in two strokes. Use fresh gas in four strokes, also change oil in four strokes if it is one year old. Check spark plugs and carry spares with you.

Ok, now the Auger and cutting blades: they have to be razor sharp,to do the best job. Carry new blades with you. There are times when you cut into sand or dust on the ice and it will dull them fast... READ MORE

Battery Cover Knobs on Electra Lazer DP12000 Augers
It has been brought to my attention that some of the battery cover knobs #151322 have been difficult to remove on some of the Electras.  It appears that the rubber boot is slipping on the metal insert.  The knob can be removed by simply grasping it with a pair of pliers and turning it to remove.  The knob can be reinstalled the same way if needed.
The auger does not need to be returned. Please contact Customer Service for more information.

New Ice, New Ice Fishing Season

No ice is safe, especially early in the year.  Always check ice conditions no matter what time of the year, but it’s a must early in the season.

If your Lazer Power Auger needs to be pushed, it has either dull blades or the pitch is off. THIS MAY CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE!! DUE NOT FORCE!! Please call StrikeMaster (763-263-8999) or stop by the manufacturing facility in Big Lake MN for more information... READ MORE


Compensating for Spooky Panfish
By Jerry Carlson

I can’t explain why it happens, I just know from years of experience that winter panfish can be very spooky. There are days, and even certain lakes, where the sound of an auger can send fish scurrying to a new location. This can hold true even for fish that are in 30 feet of water or more.

To combat this dilemma, I have learned to do much of my hole drilling all at the same time. For instance, when I come into an area and locate suspended panfish by shooting through the ice with my electronics, I will try to determine the general area the fish are in before starting the auger...
