I have the Frabill. Love it, loads of room for me, the wife, the twins, 4 chairs, the dog, buddy heater, small 3 ft table with a hibachi bbq on top and a cooler.

It's easy to setup, i have no complaints.

If you actually want to fit anywhere near 6 people then the only tent I can think of is the Eskimo 9416, that said if all 6 want to fish you are better with 2 smaller tents. The 6 man size tents are only good for 4 people max, 2-3 comfortably especially if using cameras or flashers etc.

Most of the 6 man size tents are fairly similar. I think the Eskimo ones are slightly better quality then Frabill or Cabelas brands and they definitely have better customer service, availability of parts etc. They will all do the job though.

I got an email from them today, the Quickfish 5 is now on sale for $499.

I really like my Quickfish 6 though.

Check out the clam. It’s huge. My friend has it and loves it. I have a Eskimo 9416i and love it. Of course the larger and heavier, the harder they r to set up and take down. If Iam having to walk and sled out my gear onto the lake, I take a lighter tent.

That is the Quickfish 5i(insulated).

The 5i is a very nice looking tent. It would be noticeably warmer and also stand up to wind better then these non insulated 6 person models.

You could comfortably fit 3 people inside, maybe squeeze 4.

I tend to agree with RavYak most 6 man tents fit 4 people better. With that said I am happy with the eskimo 6120i. Well built, fit and finish is second to none. Zippers, stitching and workmanship have been great. It's nice knowing Eskimos service is good though I haven't needed it. Dogfish

This. With all of your tackle, electronics, food, all of the "accoutrements," a six man tent isn't particularly large.
