I've convinced myself to buy a new vexilar for ice fishing both of the last two years. Haven't bought one either year. The winter weather is just too fickle anymore for me to justify spending 600 bucks for something I may not get to use. Never had good ice at all last year.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
