Nearly new quickfish 3 breaks

[davefishman]

I just spoke with my dad and he said that one of the poles in his quick fish 3 shattered when he was taking it down. Has anyone had that problem? Is there a way to buy extra parts for something like this?

FYI: There is a trick to folding those tents push the sides in first make sure you fold the top last some times the hubs can get tangled and pressing together will snap a pole.

I had this happen on mine as well. Pop the sides in then turn the top at an angle before you pop it down. The fold the tent for the bag. I have a small hole in the ceiling of mine now. You need what they call a pole extender if memory serves me right the part is less thn 10$.

Thanks for the info guys, I have a quick fish III (RED) and a quick fish II (green) I have used them maybe 1/2 dozen times each with no problem so far. I will pay a little closer attention when I put them up or take them down. Cumberland Wis. is only a few miles away from where I grew up so I like to use their equipment. I sold a Quickflip III to Laroo a month or so ago and he uses the heck out of it and I don't think he has experienced any problems so far. I also have 3 Rivers Edge tree stands that are built in Cumberland, I don't know if they are combined with Eskimo products or not. I have been using them for 5 or 6 years now with no problems.

Same thing happened to me at fish lake. I was thinking of just asking some one at sportsmans if they had extra parts or if you had to order them. Seem like its a problem with that model.

This is the main reason I bought my Killzone Igloo ice hut that has the metal poles. I watched a friend of mines pop up tent with fiberglass poles just exploded in the wind one day. That pretty much convinced me to get one with metal poles. I love it and it works great.

ihave a quickflip2 and ive had two of the hooks at the end of the poles brake.. plastic+cold = brakeage dumb dumb dumb heck if they made them out of metal they would lose to much money on replacement parts.
