Can't go wrong with a Fish-Trap for $80 unless of course there is something wrong with it

What's the model of the hut Bruin? Either way, you can't beat that price for any model. Enjoy your purchase and welcome to the world of Blue

Holy SH!T I guess I did do pretty good...and I thought the travel cover was standard, not an option....give me $130 and its yours (KIDDING)

I had it out yesterday...Picked up 5 small lakers....First outing of the new year....So far so good

I really like how quickly I am set up and fishing. I drilled a few holes around and then just slid it from hole to hole as I deemed necessary...All my crap fits right in the sleigh...When it was time to go home...I flopped down the top and put the cover on....Sorted out everything in the warmth of my garage....

And I thought the icecube was easy

Extremely happy with it!!!!

That's the whole concept of the Fish-trap is not only the comfort and durability of a high qaulity fish but the fact that you are very mobile and can move on the fly is where these style of huts really shine. I don't know if your cover came included with your package but it is worth almost half the price of what you paid for the entire shack! Great deal IMO. Congrats on the lakers

for 80
I got the clam tarp/frame thing, a bench seat on the inside, a big sleigh that it all mounts to and a cover

i don't know what is standard equipment and what isn't but I sure am happy about it!

The majority of the lakers we pull out of there are small 1lb'rs but there are some big ones too...The lake is easy to access in the winter but in the spring/summer/fall, is a nightmare...so needless to say it doesn't see alot of pressure......

Did anyone have a Clam Fish Trap stolen recently? That thing had to be red hot to sell at that price. Or did you buy if off someones wife.

Did you know the guy who you bought it from?

I am pretty sure its not hot....The guy I bought it off was older. He was asking 100 and I offered 80...
