Ice Fishing icon Dave Genz collaborates with Clam Corp to
design The Clam Chair™, this winter’s ‘Best of the Best’.

Minneapolis, MN – Dave Genz has been running around preaching ‘mobility’ for some two decades now. And yes, more and more ice anglers are emerging from their hard-sided shanties – and pickup trucks – to explore entire lakes from their Fish Trap® and The Clam® portable shelters. Funny, though, the size of the average portable shelter keeps getting bigger. As a result, more guys and gals are setting basecamp with one or more large portable shelters and striking out on foot to find better bites, more fish.

Enter The Clam Chair™. Co-created by Dave Genz and the craftsmen at Clam Corp®, The Clam Chair is the quintessential hybrid between a totally fishable ice fishing stool – with backrest – and rod case with enough storage for your entire tackle collection. Remarkably, though, it weighs only 12 pounds.

The Clam Chair begins as a shoulder-slung soft-pack with rigid interior framework to protect six rod & reel combos. Down go two zippers and out pops a padded stool with backrest and fish-bag for keeping a meal of eaters. Time to move to another hole? Simply grab the hand-strap, stick your rod & reel in one of two quick-access scabbards, and walk to the next hole, the one your buddy drilled while you were fishing.

Besides the rod case, quick-access scabbards, and comfortable folding chair, The Clam Chair features two extra-long zippered compartments (tip-up length), exterior mesh pouch, and two large accessory compartments for tackle boxes and bait.

“This is the perfect product for anglers in the southern and eastern parts of the Ice Belt, where winter is shorter, ice is thinner, and they seldom fish out of large portable shelters,” says Clam Corp VP of Marketing, Noel Vick. “Also, because of outerwear like Ice Armor™, more anglers are fishing outside. The Clam Chair will let them move easily from hole to hole, and carry a whole day’s worth of gear in one lightweight pack.”
