Wired2Fish’s Ryan DeChaine walks us through two popular electric auger configurations and when to use each. He starts by providing an overview of a full-sized electric auger equipped with an 8” drill. This is the go-to setup when targeting bigger fish like walleye, bass and pike. A smaller and more compact cordless hammer drill paired with a 5-6” drill is often favored when chasing panfish; this setup is extremely lightweight and fast.
