HT Enterprises Ice Fishing Skimmers & Slush Scoops

Keep your fishing holes clean, clear, and fishable all day with the lineup of HT Enterprises Ice Skimmers. When sub-zero temperatures and drifting powder threaten to freeze over your honey holes, having a dependable slush scoop makes the difference between fluid hooksets and lost fish. Designed specifically for hardwater anglers, these heavy-duty skimmers clear auger shavings, slush, and surface skin ice in seconds.

Whether you need a compact scoop for hole-hopping in tight shelters, a long-reach back-saving telescopic handle, an all-in-one chipper tool, or flexible freeze-free poly cups that shed frozen slush effortlessly, HT delivers rugged reliability built for cold-weather conditions.

• Back-Saving Reach: Longer and telescopic options eliminate constant bending and kneeling on wet ice, keeping your knees dry and your posture fatigue-free during long hole-hopping runs.

• Versatile Hole Sizing: Tailored cup diameters ranging from 4 to 6 inches ensure a tight fit across standard drill auger sizes from 4" micro holes to 10" trophy holes.

• High-Visibility Finishes: Bright orange, yellow, and high-contrast designs prevent skimmers from getting lost in deep snowdrifts around the ice house.

Technical Specifications

Pro Tip: Never bang a metal skimmer hard against the raw edge of a frozen hole to remove ice crust, as this can bend the rim and dull your chiseling edge. For models with flexible poly cups, simply give the cup a firm squeeze with your gloved hand—the frozen ice sheet will instantly crack and pop out. For metal models, briefly dunk the scoop into the warmer water beneath the ice hole for three seconds; the surface temperature of the water will immediately melt the bond and release the slush.
