Clam Command Post

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Well I can say the material in my Yukon is great and very well made. As for the command post I see it has side pop outs which personally I don't like. A buddy of mine had a cheapy from Canadian Tire and at the start of this year went to pop the sides and bam.. a couple rods broke in two.

If the command has metal poles then I would say it is a good one.

I have one with pop out sides and it has caused no problems, in fact I really like it. The only thing I would recommend is that you make sure it has ice anchors to secure it from blowing away.

orrsey I should have mentioned that he did pull the sides in frustration which contributed to the poles snapping inside. I suspect it was the way he put it away at the end of the season.

We have an eastman icecube and it works really really well...but with the family its a bit tight so the command post would be more suitable I think....I guess the only way to find out for sure is drop the money into it....thanks guys

Base camp

Post by tylercurt »

I bought the Base Camp, it's pretty big and can fit 3 no problem. I opened it on xmas day and noticed a small seam issue, about 3 inches was not sewn. I contacted Clam and am still waiting for what to do as Ganon Sports in Oshawa wanted nothing to do with me after I bought it. I still like the size and roominess inside and I bought a MR Heater portable to go along with it. Like stated above, make sure you use the ice anchors, if not you’ll be chasing it across the Bay Of Quinte like a friend did with his cube…..lol

When Clam first came out I got a used two man shelter from Darryl Choronzey, for whom I was writing at the time. It was a good rig. I later bought a four-man shelter, also a good rig, but not really enough room for four. I had intended to use it to sleep out overnight, two guys, but we never did get around to that. Then I moved to a small house, no place to store it, goodbye Clam! :cry:

Both shelters were very well made and stood up to repeated use. Both were definitely "sails" when the wind came up, and the advice about ice anchors is sound. Neither was very easy to erect by one's self, and basically impossible to put up solo in a strong wind. My oldest son learned quite a few new words for his vocabularly one day on Lake Champlain when he was about eight and the wind was about eighty...... :roll:

These are old experiences, and may no longer be representative of today's Clam quality control, but they surely were a quality product.
