Quick take
A portable fiberglass-frame ice shelter with thermal fabric and blackout coating for full-season ice fishing.
The Ice Cube is a portable hub-style ice shelter in the 2-person size, with a fiberglass pole frame and cast aluminum hubs under a polyester cover. It measures 76 inches hub to hub with a 67-inch ceiling, giving about 24 square feet of fishable area. Windows fasten with hook and loop, six ice anchors and a carry bag come in the box, and it needs no assembly beyond popping it open on the ice. It suits anglers who want a compact shelter for a short walk onto the lake.
