New Jiffy 4G Auger

[Whitetail77]

Anyone have one of these, or can comment on them? I don't want to be the guinee pig with a new motor/ I'm looking for a new auger and am totaly confused with what I should buy. My old Jiffy has lasted for 26 years and was originally my grandfathers. I'm kind of bias towards Jiffy for that reason only, but hear good things as well as some bad about the Strikemaster and the Eskimo. Things have changed on the Jiffy (motor), so now I don't know anymore. Then you throw 8" or 10" diameter auger into the discusion and i get totally de-railed. I've read as many posts or comparisons, but I'm now more confused than before. HELP

I ran into Hunter_Dave the other day and he tells me you might be my neighbor at Lac La Nonne. I should be out there in the next few days, if you want to try out my Normark/Husqvarna auger let me know. You might even forget what a Jiffy is after using it!

Hi AppleJax,

Funny that Dave made the connection. We are in the cabins along Christina beach next to Willowbend. Where abouts are you? Use to fish there a ton. Still get out there, but not as much as I would like to.
