Fish Trap^® X™ shelters create the new ‘top shelf’ in portable ice fishing shelters.

Innovative shelter lineup engineered to meet the demands of serious ice anglers.

Minneapolis, MN – The category known as “portable ice fishing shelters” has forever been changed. Clam Corp. punched out the lights with the introduction of the innovative and powerful Fish Trap X series.

Fish simply aren’t safe anymore.

Fish Trap X series – now four unique models strong – was designed for anglers who take ice fishing very seriously; not the casual fan. Within the ice fishing crowd there is the elite group that doesn’t check weather forecasts, because they’re going fishing anyway. Heaping snow isn’t an obstacle. Nor are branch-rattling winds. That’s all just part of the deal.

Well, Clam Corp. has made the experience easier for the elite, bolstering their mobile fortress. All Fish Trap X models feature 1 ¼ inch tubing, the biggest and strongest in the industry. These meaty tubes slide up and down with ease because of Clam Corp’s inventive Pole Glide Technology, where aluminum telescopes inside a durable synthetic sleeve. The 900 denier polyester tents are the toughest around, and resist wear, tear, and won’t rot like cotton canvas.

Fish Trap X sled bases are equally as impressive – this isn’t the flimsy stuff. (See the competition.) The sled bases are formed from dense polyethylene, yielding unmatched strength and durability for the long tow.

“Walleye fisherman are pretty serious,” said Clam Corp. Director of Marketing Kristin Osborne. “We built the Fish Trap X line with their requirements in mind: heavy tent material; strong pole system; and a sled superior to anything on the market.

We’ve definitely built what they asked for, and ended up with a line of shelters that work for most anglers, no matter where or what they fish.”

The Fish Trap X is a one-person model with single cushioned swivel seat. The Fish Trap X2 is larger and comes with two seats. The distinctively-shaped Fish Trap X4 accommodates four anglers. And new for 2008 is the Fish Trap Thermal X, a two person vessel that features an amazing insulated tent.
