ION Named as Official Team Ice Auger of The Next Bite

CUMBERLAND, Wis. - Jan. 13, 2016 - PRLog -- ION, the leading supplier of high-performance electric ice augers, today announced an official partnership with The Next Bite as the angling multimedia company’s exclusive auger provider. The Next Bite team will drill with ION Electric Ice Augers while filming ice fishing segments for their national television show, The Next Bite TV.

Michael Furseth, CEO of ION, said, “We regard The Next Bite as trendsetters in the ice fishing industry with a keen eye for innovation. Their desire to feature ION as their go-to ice auger confirms our product has proven its performance on the ice.”

ION’s team of anglers, designers and engineers worked in conjunction to produce a battery-powered ice auger that rivals the performance of gas-powered models while remaining reliable and easy to use. A high-capacity 40V lithium-ion battery supplies consistent cutting power through over 1000” of ice on a single charge, and the fine-tuned cutting system drills new and frozen-over holes with ease. By eliminating internal combustion, ION is lighter, cleaner, lower maintenance and creates no exhaust, making it ideal for drilling inside shelters. Additionally, every ION Electric Ice Auger features a reverse function to flush slush down and out of holes.

Gary Parsons, founder and host of The Next Bite TV said, “ION is one of the most exciting ice fishing tools to hit the market in recent history. We believe it’s the best auger available, and we look forward to sharing it with our followers.”

The Next Bite crew also includes champion tournament anglers Keith Kavajecz and Chase Parsons. On their show, the team chases fish across North America on both ice and open water. They incorporate innovative tips, tricks and techniques with the best new angling products to help their audiences find greater angling success. The Next Bite TV airs on NBC Sports, Destination America, World Fishing Network and Comcast Sports Net Chicago.

The partnership between ION and The Next Bite brings together two leaders in the angling industry with the goal of sharing a new, more effective method for drilling ice fishing holes.
