That’s generous, and we think two adult anglers will find this shelter spacious enough for their gear. The Quickfish 3 is advertised as a “three man” shelter. That matters a lot if you use your shelter as a base to run multiple tip-ups while you fish. Window placement is excellent, allowing clear visibility while seated. Made from 300 denier fabric, it’s tough, though not as durable as the other options on our list.That’s a reality for its price point and weight, and anglers who pull a sled by hand will want to take a closer look at a shelter than weighs in at just 35 pounds. Well designed and constructed, there’s a lot to like about this shelter. Not quite as durable as the other options on our listĮskimo’s Quickfish 3 demonstrates that this company, probably best known for its flip-overs, hasn’t ignored the hub market.

The windows are placed just as you’d expect, as are the tie-downs, and there’s nothing innovatie or unexpected about this shelter other than its budget-conscious price.

But three anglers plus gear and a heater is going to get tight, just as it would in the Quickfish 3. This square shelter offers plenty of space for a single angler and lots of gear, and adding a buddy won’t cramp your room at all. The hub and poles are strong and durable, and I wouldn’t be concerned about overall durability at all, even for the price. Made from 300 denier insulated fabric, the Ice Cube sets up and takes down quickly, getting you fishing sooner rather than later. A good deal for bargain-hunters looking for an insulated shelter, it’s priced below the similarly-sized Quickfish 3 while offering greater warmth. Thunderbay’s Ice Cube 3i is the insulated version of their standard three-man ice shelter. Thunderbay Ice Cube 3i - Best Budget Ice Fishing Shelter Seven well-placed windows let you keep an eye on your pop-ups, and you’ll find two gear nets and two storage pockets built-in to the interior. The Outbreak is quick to set up, and includes thoughtful features like a light gray interior to brighten the shelter, a no-trip door design, and flat panels at the edges to increase the available fishing space. Easily accommodated two to three anglers and their gear, this is the model to go for if you regularly fish with friends and family. Fishermen as tall as 6’2” will have no trouble in this regard, and the days of hunkering over and hobbling around will be over. This is a big shelter, and larger anglers are going to love the ability to stand upright at the center. Even when the mercury is falling like your available balance on vacation, you’ll find the inside remains at a cozy temperature. That makes it darn tough, and the StormShield fabric cuts the wind and works well to keep this shelter warm with an appropriate heater. Tie-downs to secure this halter in heavy wind are plentiful and strong, just as you’d expect, and the beefier frame is sturdier than the Outbreak of old. This limited-edition shelter sports a stronger ball-and socket design that’s made from solid metal, as well as thicker, more robust fiberglass poles.

ICE FISHING SHELTER 3 PERSON PRO
Overall, you can count us as impressed by the Vortex Pro Lodge, and I’d be more than willing to take this shelter out on the ice anytime. Lots of storage pockets and a thoughtful overhead storage net make this shelter easy to organize for a day’s fishing, and you won’t find space that’s better utilized to your benefit from any manufacturer. Plenty of tie-downs ensure that you keep your shelter in place and secure even in the worst weather, and windows on each of the sides provide great light. Manufactured from the company’s proprietary THERMALTEC 600 denier fabric, the Pro Lodge is plenty tough, bucking the wind and keeping you warm with an appropriate heater. Ideal for three fishermen and lots of gear, you could squeeze an extra person or two in, just as with the Outbreak. This large shelter sports a tall center height of 79 inches, making it perfect for taller anglers. Expect 74 square feet of interior space, rivaling the awesome Outbreak 450 XD Limited for elbow room. Otter Outdoor’s Vortex Pro Lodge breaks with the strational square hub shelter, using an innovative pentagonal design to maximize interior dimensions and give you plenty of room to fish. Otter’s ice shelters have quite a following among hard-water anglers, and their new Vortex Pro line-up goes a long way toward demonstrating why.
