Quick take
A USA-made zinc-coated steel ice skimmer with adjustable 24-inch uprights for efficient slush removal.
This ice skimmer clears slush from a fishing hole so you can get a line back down quickly. The 8 inch plate suits an 8 inch auger hole, and the plate swaps for 6 or 10 inch sizes on the same handle. Zinc-coated steel and polypropylene keep it light at about a pound, and the 24 inch uprights let you work without bending far.
