4 days confidence:
"spud" or "spud bar" or "pry bar" Explanation: A spud or spud bar is a tool ice fishers use to chop through the ice. It is about 3 feet long with a sharp chisel like end. Today, they are purchased commercially, but when I was a kid, we used to use long heavy metal pry bars with the end sharpened into a chisel. |
