Ice Fishing Hole Reamer

Ice Fishing Hole Reamer FARM HOME Miscellaneous 18-6-8 "I've never seen anything like this on the market,," says Ernie Yarema, Sifton, Manitoba, about his ice fishing hole "reamer" that bevels out the bottom of an ice hole to make it easier to pull fish up. The problem is that the bottom of most ice fishing holes is a jagged edge that catches both line and fish. By beveling it out, you eliminate broken lines and big fish slide easily up into the hole. Yarema made the reamer to fit a power auger. He simply removes the power auger and attaches the reamer, which is made out of 1 1/2 in. sq. tubing. There's a circle of steel at the bottom that fits down through a 10-in. hole and a pivoting steel bar that sticks out to shave ice off the bottom of the hole. Once the reamer is down in the hole, he pulls on a steel cable that extends the steel bar out under the ice. It reams the hole out to 16-in. dia. Yarema is looking for a manufacturer.
