Living in Augusta and all this time I thought it was just an outlet for their traps. I never knew they had so much stuff. I just took a rip out there today because of this video and I have to say, you cost me a lot of money! Glad to say it's a great shop with great people. For a local shop right in the prime of their season, their prices were great.
What a wonderful walkthrough Joe, and to hear Shawn tell about the history and Tim, brought a tear to my eye.
Awesome thanks
Went down the other day and bought a new pack basket, traps, and a pack sack for this season. Called ahead because we were running late and they stayed open 45 minutes late for us after we got there. Great people!
They are awesome
In my home town in NH. We have a old timer that makes traps. My dad got me a set when I was a young'n. Still using them
Very cool
Very cool place!! I’d go broke there for sure 😅
Absolutely done it a few times
What a fantastic story of building a business from nothing to something special. Hopefully as they grow they do not lose sight of their beginnings, high quality components and good people make high quality traps. If quality ever goes downhill, people will not be willing to pay the premium prices for their products. I loved ice fishing with my dad in my younger years, I think it is time to get back into it.
For sure Shawn and co make an amazing product
@@JoeHollandFishing Indeed, Jack Traps do make a very good product, however it looks like Bill Beaver of Forest City Traps makes even higher quality tip ups. I just purchased on of Bill's few remaining traps to inspect and test, it looks awesome.
Everybody in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin: hold my beer....
Wow, beautiful! Gonna order a few for the kids for Christmas!
Absolutely! They will love them for a lifetime!
Great video.....Tim did a great job picking Shawn to carry on his Legacy.
So true
Great vid Joe. Thanks.
Gotta go, have to order a matching scoop for my set of JTs.
For sure thanks
You can still see the lasting legacy and emotion tim left on shawn when he talks about it. Awesome Awesome video love jack traps ❤️
For sure he has a lot of pride in the legacy and the business
I was there today to support a local business and made a purchase. While paying I heard Joe’s voice and said to Casey “hey that’s Joe Holland!” It was an honor to meet Joe and Pat in person along with helping a local merchant. Love this story and will support Shawn!! See u on the hard water!!
PS Joe can’t wait to hear what you do for your camp on Carr Pond!!
Awesome thank you great meeting you
Going to there open house is pretty interesting as well. I like looking at the old fashion tip ups they have on display. My family and I own many sets myself I own one set of every style and have used over the years without one complaint.
Lots of history on the wall there!
i’m from winchester NH and love fishing trout
Awesome good luck
Great tour , great story . Thank you . I have several J Ts . Would love to visit the store for a few more plus accessories . Thx again .
Thanks for watching!
People from Maine and Northern NH are such a special bunch!!!
Thanks
Hi Joe, I don't know if my last comment got posted or not because I can't seem to find it. But I live in New Hampshire, and I like going after northern pike. Love your show. I enjoy watching it all the time, and I'm actually going to try some overnight ice fishing this year at my local pawn to see how it works out.
Awesome you are in good luck
Great video! Loved the inside look at such a staple product of the Maine Ice fishing world! We couldn’t imagine fishing anything else! Awesome awesome video Joe 👏🏻
You and me both! Thank you.
It is so good to see products built in American by Americans. This is a great video. Keep up the good work joe
Thank you
Just ordered two traps can’t wait to get to use them l had bought one last year to see if I would like it and it worked great that gives me three eventually I’ll have a full set lol
Awesome they are great
Well, this video worked. Ive been watching your videos with you using Jack traps for over a year now. I bought one, yesterday, and it costs over 40$ to ship here to Wisconsin. So what do I do, well just bought another today. Cant wait to get them at my doorstep.
Just got both traps. Man, I cant wait to get ice now to use them. So pleased with how they look and how they were shipped. Just might have to keep buying more! Well worth it after looking these over. Thank you!!!
Great to hear!
they are total quality
This is awesome. I think it's time to save up a little money and go down and see about having some of these made up! Awesome video always love some good ol Maine made history!
thank you.
I really enjoyed this video. What a great Maine company.
Awesome thanks.
You should do a video on catching perch with the jigging sticks? I would like to buy one or a few but I would like to also see them in action???!!!
sounds good
Shawn knows his stuff...I bought my 26" Cross traps last year and i'm a CT hardwatuh walkuh
He sure does
I’m moving to Maine!! Great show!
Glad you did this video Joe, what a great story and no doubt there was a little Devine intervention
Thanks buddy
I’ve been waiting for this video. Always one of my favorite spots to stop when I’m in the area.
Cool I hope you like it
driving up 95 this weekend heard a commercial for Jack traps on the radio
I didn't hear that one yet.
I love that tip up flag pole❤🤘❤
It is so cool
Thanks Joe. What a cool place, must make a road trip from PA
Absolutely
What a great video and such a great great story. I have one jack trap that was given to me and it's an old big bob
Very cool
Great video, I'm loving it. I got to visit Shawn and the Jack Traps store some day when I'm around.
It’s a must visit type of place.
Cheryl does a great job making the hats. I always sold my fur to her and Tom. Great video.
Very cool. Wish I had sold some fur to them or had them make me a hat
Thanks Joe, what a great video, makes me want to get even more Jack Traps, i live in Vermont but i will someday make the trek over!!!!!
Amazing place! Thank you
The cross style was more popular down here in CT because it was all we could get off the shelf at the store. Still have my set of Hi-Flyers that are about 35 years old. Use 26" standards now. Still have the carbon steel springs. WD at the beginning of the season keeps them rust free.
Very cool thanks for the info
Wow, I know what brand of trap i will be getting when i get the itch to try it, looks like a fantastic company to support. Thanks Joe!
Very cool yes!
Very cool store also very interesting to see how these traps are put together
I’m going to have to make a trip to see the store one day and build some custom traps
Thanks for this video Joe very cool
Thank you
Very nice video Joe !
Thank you
I imagine you're going to be up north on the ice pretty soon. I was looking at the allagash weather and its COLD!
Fingers crossed!
Hell of a product. Great people. Iowa isn't conducive to using traps but I think I'll order some anyway
wow very cool!
Wow!!! What an amazing behind the scenes look! Once again best content on UA-cam hands down Joe. I find it interesting as well that us MASS HOLES prefer the cross traps. I think I’m going to order a set of original for myself
Thank you !
Great video Joe,Would love to visit the store.
Its an ice fisherman's dream.
Awesome video Joe, it was so cool to hear about the history of this awesome company.
Absolutely thank you
Dang only an hour and a half away! I gotta take a trip there!!!
its worth the trip
🤘Love this place.
Me too
I love jacktraps
Same
Shawn seems like a very handsome and decent guy. Such a great person. I like him a lot 👍
He’s awesome!
My Loring Pack basket melted and distorted when I left it by the wood stove to dry. it was 2-3ft away..... so keep that in mind Its plastic .There were many wood baskets closer that were fine
Truth . Plastic will definitely melt under heat . It won’t crush or break though like the wood ones . That’s most of the trade off I think
Joe I really appreciated this video Jack traps is one of those stores in Maine that I just have not made it to yet but it’s definitely on the list….
How many videos do you save from prior year in order to upload till ice fishing begins typically
I dont plan on saving them but last year I ended up having a bunch at the end of the season and youtube algorithm killed the ice fishing stuff before I could get it uploaded
Nothing like a good Maine business building a superior product. Thx Joe and Jack Traps! Looks like a great store. I have fished the Monmouth area many times. Is having a metal spool in cold weather with wet fingers and ice ever a problem? If so, maybe dipping the reels in epoxy might help?
Having made a number of ice fishing traps through the years (nothing commercial), my store-bought Polar Tip-ups have worked well with finicky fish, bad weather and lunkers that want to run. I still have those I purchased over 40 years ago in Brewer. Take up less space in my pack and have never failed me.
Presently, I have a new contraption which is more sensitive and visible than my Polar and has an above-ice, mini fishing rod that hopefully will not freeze in above O degrees F (it will work below O, but without the pole). I still am working with some type of alarm system. Does anyone have any ideas on the best daylight ice fishing trap alarm system out there? Hopefully, I can try this out next year.
Thanks
Great vid joe
Thank you
We got plenty of those metal number 10 coffee cans at work, if your looking Joe. Let me know.
Yes I bought a new can but they made them a 1/2 smaller to make more profits with less product.
💯 great stuff
Appreciate it
Is the cross trap as stable as the traps you're using?
Yes they are. Very great trap
Yes I use both, on flat clear ice he original will sit flatter the cross needs a little slush or snow.
I've often wondered why Any company who Advertizes on clothes ,doesn't Give those close away to customers.. Coming from a retail background,, i would think it would be more visible to your target audience.
It costs a ton of money to make apparel and most small businesses try to break even with them if it’s a side thing
Strikemaster 40v is an awesome auger.
For sure
