TOP 5: Ice Gear Hot Spots – FALL 2023

As we approach Fall and start looking for ways to scratch that ice fishing “itch” now’s a great time to take inventory and organize your gear. Inevitably you’ll come across some weak spots in your arsenal that could use a little boost. Here at IFD we’ve compiled a list of the best Ice Fishing Hot Spots to check out while gearing up. Fall is a great time to take advantage of deals when retailers are dropping their prices on last year’s gear.

These are our Top 5 Go-To Sites for Ice Fishing Deals this Fall. If you’re looking for ice gear here’s where you should start.

1) Amazon

It’s no secret that Amazon is THE PLACE to find closeout deals on last year’s gear. Manufactures and retailers often utilize the site to clear out older items; most of the time at crazy low prices. They have a rock solid return policy and free & fast shipping. Grab what you need and if you don’t like it send it back.

4) Marine General

Marine General is a reliable spot for great deals every season. Their “Specials” section has been the source of many Ice Fishing Deals throughout the years. MG is typically one of the first sites to offer the latest Ice Gear. Often you can also find massive discounts on some of the higher-dollar items like shelters, ice suits, and flashers.

5) Cabela’s

Back in the good ol’ days (pre-Bass Pro) Cabela’s would have likely been #1 on this list. At one time the Bargain Cave was worth checking out daily with deals so good they’d come and go quickly. Even though the deals aren’t quite what they used to be we still find plenty worth talking about. It takes a fair amount of weeding-through but great deals still lurk in these waters.
