Once in a great while, powerful forces assemble to make history as an extraordinary unit. It happened on Halloween in 1991 when a trifecta of weather systems merged to create the Perfect Storm. Long before, during World War II, the United States joined forces with Western European countries and Russia to become the victorious Allied Forces. In both cases, the whole was greater than the sum of the parts.
Something similar is brewing in ice fishing, and we call it Ice Force. In simple terms, the most premium and respected brands in their individual categories have harmonized.

StrikeMaster and Mora of Sweden are household, hole-drilling names in ice fishing. They, too, have teamed with Ice Force.

For ice fishing 2012-13, the artisan engineers tender the Lazer Synthetic Ultra-Lite and Honda 35cc LITE, respectively, the ultimate achievements in hand and power auger design.
