In my opinion, the Barnaul ice-drills are in no way inferior to the Scandinavian models. Over the forty-year experience I was able to test 4 ice-drills. TLR-130D - the best of them. I think the only drawback is poor-quality pairing of parts. |

Which ice drill is better to buy?
Ice screws for fishing differ significantly in price. Therefore, when choosing the best model, an angler should consider the intensity of exploitation and the climate of your region.
- Young beginner fishermen do not spend big money to buy branded products. Low-cost domestic ice-drills are quite suitable for drilling holes.
- To old people It may be advisable to use a sharply sharpened hand tool in order not to waste a lot of physical strength. Connecting a screwdriver or using gasoline equipment can be a good alternative.
- When to do many holes in thick ice, it is worth stopping the choice on electro-or motor-drills. If the air temperature is above -10ºС, then the instrument will handle the work with the battery. At lower temperatures, it is more profitable to use a benzo tool.
It is also necessary to take into account the size of the holes that the ice-drill will do.
- For sport fishing suitable tools with a screw diameter of 90-110 mm.
- Average fishI manage to pull out on ice through a hole with a diameter of 110-150 mm. Such auger is suitable for both mormyshchnikov, and for zherlichnikov.
- Those fishermen who hunt for trophy fish, it is necessary to choose ice-drills with a screw of 180-250 mm.But to manually drill a wide hole, you have to spend a lot of physical strength.
