Igloo or Bigloo ?

#1 Post by SaltOnlyAngler »

Getting a beach buddy as I have started to fish competitions. I think I have my mind set on the igloo design but don't know if I should buy the igloo or the bigloo. I am (I mean my parents are) willing to pay the extra €20 if it means more shelter as it has a door flap and it deeper. What are people's opinions???

Igloo is big enough for two to fish from if needed.

Is it sheltered though or is it just like a big windbreaker?

plenty of shelter from wind and rain and sun, using a shelter in sun not only protects you but helps keep your bait in better order as long as you have it facing the right way, i have an igloo and an old the ron thomson shelter which has doors which i have never used. dont forget it's grand having all of this equipment but your going to have to get it down the beach to your peg aswell, you have been warned :wink:

the igloo has plenty of room and and will keep you dry and you will get 3 in at a push if it really buckets down
