I just started ice fishing 2 years ago. The first year i just went out with buddies who had everything and learned from them. Then last year, decided that i loved it so much i bit the bullet and bought everything for myself (except the flasher). Hence this year comes the flasher. The biggest thing i hate is relaying on someone so that's why i bought my own stuff. I can go when and where i want, and also take buddies along that can't afford the toys. If and when my wife gives me grief about buying fishing toys, i tell her that she buys make up/clothes and i don't say a word so don't say anything when i buy my toys lol.
