Default Strikemaster Flighting

Tried out the auger today and discovered my flighting is bent. Does anybody know who stocks replacement 8 or 10 inch complete flightings?

Good luck...

It is always tough to find Strikemaster stuff here and no one carries the bits in stock that I know of. Your best bet for trying to get one locally would be to check with the Fishin Hole and see if they can special order one in for you...

Gotta know if you need the lazer drill or single chipper assembly. If it is an 8 inch lazer drill you are probably going to have a hard time getting one... The Rapala US website doesn't let you purchase from Canada and also shows out of stock on the 8 inch. The Canadian website doesn't even show Strikemaster Augers... Amazon Canada lists them but all currently unavailable. Cabelas US site only has up to 7 inch.

Phone Rapala and hope to get lucky or as mentioned try The Fishin Hole. Otherwise cruise US stores online and hope to find one that will ship to Canada. Gonna cost you a pretty penny for shipping though.

This is why I use to encourage people to stay away from Strikemaster. Tough to get replacement parts/accessories for...

Call these guys they are the service and repair and warranty center for all of Canada. They had my part to me in 4 business days.

StrikeMaster Service Centre at Bay Distributors (George Bishop) at 1-800-461-9500.

I gotta disagree with you on this one rav. These guys had everything I needed in stock and ready to ship. Toughest part was emailing rapala Canada and waiting for them to give me the number.

Nothing cuts like the strikemaster, I wouldn't give mine up for 2 ood anything else.

I didn't know about that service center, I just know how many guys that couldn't find part/accessories locally.

You could also try Lawnmower Hospital, in looking up that Bay Distributor I see Lawnmower Hospital is also a service center for strikemaster.

I suppose if you are looking for parts locally I could see that but I live 2.5 hours from Edmonton so shipping is usually easier for me. I didn't know lawnmower hospital was also a service center for strikemaster.

When I called a nice lady answered the phone on the second ring and connected me to what sounded like a good old boy who knew his stuff and was happy to help. The customer service alone is worth the call.

I found that out at the following link.

https://rapala.ca/strikemaster

Guess I should share it as there is also a place in Calgary and Rimbey. I kind of doubt they carry much stuff in stock but I could be wrong.

I picked up a 10 inch strikemaster flight from Wholesale sports about 4 years ago now for $100. Also got 2 - 8"lasermag augers for $268 each ......but of course Wholesales sports never had any sales no wonder why they went out of business.

Sounds like this distributor might be the best bet or checking with fishing world or maybe even bass pro. Although sounds like you might have a auger blade issue and not a bent flight at all. Laser blades are extremely precise and even a slight dulling can make a huge difference.

Its mind boggling that no one here sells a full line of strikemaster or otter.
