The key to effectively keep the hole from freezing is to seal outside air from filtering in, which is difficult to do with conventional hole covers. The Finicky Fooler Hole Cover & Rim utilizes an insulated ring that is centered over the ice hole, and then slush is packed around the perimeter to seal it to the ice. The hole cover seats inside the ring to seal off outside air. The ring provides a 1” perimeter of insulation and the cover provides ¾” of insulation. A ¼” hole is centered in the middle of the hole cover, for line to slip through or for use with a traditional tip-up.
Tips:
- A tether string can be attached from the ring to the cover to keep the cover from blowing away while fighting a fish.
- A hand warmer can be strapped to the underside of the cover with a hair/rubber band during extreme cold.
