[ice dude]

nope 2 5's and an 8. i will probably sell one of the 5" lazer. used 2 years and i just put new blades on it. but i'm a tightwod so i probably wont buy a new one.lol but i can get a brand new gas 8" for just over $200. if i get it i will let you know. my one buddy has a 4" spoon type auger hewants to get rid of if you know anyone how is into collectibles it was made in northern MI back in the late 30's. he wants like $125.

i want a 4" lazer...there is a guy down here that collects old fishing tackle...i will check with him on the old spoon...i got one myself, it is what i started with.

I had a 4 or 5 inch spoon auger. It worked great for a couple years then the blade got dull and was hard to sharpen to I just threw it away about 2 months ago when I moved. Now I use a 5 inch Lazer, which works great until you get over 8 inches of ice, then no matter what hand auger you have drilling sucks.
