Description:
The conception of a power ice drill, for ice fishing, began in 1948 with a fellow Plymouth Wisconsin Fire Department member of Marvin Feldmann's, who loved to ice fish and could often outsmart the fish by getting his limit. This avid ice fisherman was a truck driver and delivered and picked up product from Lauson Engine Company in New Holstein, WI. (Lauson Company was later named Tecumseh Power Products and continues to manufacture quality two-cycle and four-cycle engines for many products, including Jiffy Ice Drills.) |
