I have both a hub and an otter flip over. The flip overs rock!!!!
Hubs have frequent pole failures. And the wind catches them like a kite! Almost lost mine trying to setup on tuesday. Sure u can ice screw with a drill. Reality is drill batteries die quickly in the cold!!! I was chasing lakers tuesday withthe hub. Wind blew hard enough it busted the straps!!! I had to put my hip boots on ,to read this....:)

I agree with him, I had a killzone hub style before I bought the flip over, the hub was ok, but it was a pain, couldn't fish in the wind, poles broke, where with the flip over I can fish in any weather, and it has been more durable than the killzone

I have ice ..... its in the freezer. Strawberry and vanilla flavor ...... still no idea what y'all on about So yah Nevah been ice fishing before ? I have, but never in a "house". We'd just chop a hole in the ice, and sit on an overturned bucket. Figure this must be some millennial trend like waxing your privates, LOL.

Yup...when it howling out on the lake....we find a cove to fish in....or try another day. It's recreational fishing for me....not to feed my family...so I watch the weather and pick my spots.

I consider myself a pretty avid outdoorsman. I have hunted, trapped and fished my whole life and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have never tired it but for some reason sitting out over the ice waiting on a fish to swim to me just does not look like my cup of tea. I am sure it is a northern thing that us southerners just cannot grasp.

You guys getting all gooned up and making believe to be MMA fighters in the Hub ? Because the wind blows. I fish a lake that the wind can come for 35 miles. I have a hub and if it's blowing 20 mph, plus it will stay home. When it starts blowing 25 30 mph I fish in the hard house.
