Tipups - My Newest Model

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Tipups - My Newest Model

Post by Leechman »

Well guys,

I finally created the ultimate tipup for hard water fishing..... :D The one displayed below is only a prototype for my office but works just as well.

It's 10" in length and don't laugh at my fish, just tried to do my best :wink:

Here is a closer look.......

They're very easy to do and not expensive at all. The material required is 2 1"x2"x6' and 2 1"x3"x6' which comes to about $20......

P.S. On another note, that snow still coming down pretty hard. It's starting to get on my nerves...... :twisted:

I now know the feeling of those that cant wait for soft water.

Thanks for the ideas and designs Fish Finder! Do you typically build a base for the tipup or just jab it in the snow/ice?

Cheers,

I just jab it in the snow. The base is for display only.

No it's not. It's just paint. The rig itself does not require much to tip it. They have 10 ajustable setting holes so you can ajust to your likings, from light to heavy, depending on the species your targetting.
