You are not going to get much help IMHO. It's fairly typical if you are putting them to much use.

It's in how a person stores them in the off season also . Eskimo makes replacements maybe they do to .
Simplify your methods to the point of perfection.
Become fast,efficient & effective.
The real "SECRET" to successful trapping.
KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Still beats barebacking it on a 5 gallon bucket. Did that for many years. In some nasty weather.

Get a hub style shack...this one is going on 10 years I bet...light weight ,folds up into a carry bag ,sets up in under a minute I'd only recommend a hub if your fishing out of a truck and don't move much. It's not uncommon for me to move a half dozen or more times a day if I'm not on the fish. And sometimes it will be a 10 mile plus move where the roads aren't plowed. I'd recommend a flip over to the hard core user running with snowmobiles or ATVs. This location is about 12 miles from the nearest landing, well a landing in the US. No roads plowed there, dont let the lack of snow fool anyone, it was late March.

Nope nevah All you do is drill a hole with your auger...clean out the hole of slush...set up your chair....and put a smelt on you hook...and lower it down the hole ...you can use a jig stick (as pictured) or a small short 18 inch spinning rod...Drink Beeah and wait for a bite...on the nasty days we go inside the warm shack,heated with a buddy heater and a Radio ,for some music...very relaxing .

Bought a fragile aegis, at the end of 2015, used it last year and this year, my Windows are starting to crack and I am starting to see light in spots through the fabric of the shelter, anyone have similar problems, how is their customer service, and at the end of ice season I have taken the fabric off the sled and stored it indoors I have a Frabill Predator that's 11 years old. I called customer service and was able to get a new canvast but it was $400. Expensive but cheaper than a new shack.
