This is done in order to alleviate the fate of the angler and leave more time for the actual capture of fish. A motor drill for fishing will become indispensable for fans of winter fishing, especially if you need to make more than five holes.
What is a motor drill for fishing?
Ice fishing is very interesting and exciting, but in order to get to the water you need to make a hole in the frozen water. To do this, they used to use an ax or a pick, over time they switched to an ice screw. With it, you can drill a round hole with a diameter of 100 mm or more. Now progress has gone even further, holes can be drilled not manually, but with the help of fuel-powered equipment. Efforts will be required at a minimum, and the effectiveness will exceed all expectations.
A motor drill is usually powered by gasoline and is a device in which an external power source is connected to the cutting element. With its help, drilling holes turns into a real pleasure, if on average they spend 10-15 minutes on one with an ordinary ice drill, then a motor drill can cope with the task in just 30 seconds.
Types of motor drills and features of their design
It only at first glance seems that ice screws are not very common, they are produced by many companies and not quite those that specialize in fishing tackle. Most often, manufacturers of various motorcycles specialize in such products.
Today, there are two types of motor drills:
- universal has a wide range of applications, it is used for drilling soil in the warm and cold seasons, when attaching the cutting head, the tool will become an excellent assistant for the winter angler for drilling holes;
- specialized, their range of action is much narrower, that is, a tool intended for ice drilling does not work with soil.
