Eskimo warranty for ice fishing gear
The short version
Eskimo covers ice fishing gear in full for 1 year, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is the same as most of the 5 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. Some of this coverage only applies if you register the product.
From Eskimo's published warranty, checked October 2026.
