Classic Lazer Mag cutting machine only improves with age
Big Lake, MN – A steadfast power tool is a thing of beauty—starts like clockwork, does its job with power and precision, and hums along like a fine-tuned German engine. If you’re wielding StrikeMaster’s advanced Lazer Mag power ice auger, these are fitting descriptions indeed. Through countless winters, StrikeMaster’s classic cutting machines have remained the choice of legendary anglers, such as Dave Genz, Tom Neustrom, Brian Brosdahl, and Gary Roach. More specifically, the Lazer Mag has been the workhorse auger for you and I—everyday anglers who simply demand trustworthy performance tools.
So the question becomes, how to build upon a legend, to make a great machine even better? Last season, StrikeMaster overhauled the popular Lazer Mag, adding a precision-powered German Solo® engine. Instantly, anglers across the ice-belt were drilling twice as many holes with less effort than thought possible. Meanwhile, engine emissions and oily odors were cut to almost nothing.
And yet, StrikeMaster engineers still weren’t 100% content. So they further improved the machine’s durability to match its performance. This year’s class of Lazer Mags have been fitted with High Impact Composite Handles—giving ice anglers an ergonomic, yet lightweight drilling experience. “I’ve relied on Lazer Mag augers for a lot of years,” says another legend, Mr. Walleye, Gary Roach. “Cold, nasty winters can be brutal on gear, but these machines are even tougher. The best fishing tools are the ones you don’t have to think about—they just work. That pretty much describes my Lazer Mag.”
Engineering Highlights:
• Precision-powered 42 cc, 2.5-hp engine by Solo® Germany
• Jet-quick 40:1 gear ratio with Heat Treated Gears
• Spacious 24-ounce gas tank provides efficient, extended operation
