Who sells big spool tipups??
« on: Nov 28, 2016, 08:18 PM »
I'm in Dearborn Heights looking for tip ups with the larger spools... I know they call them 500 yard spools but they won't hold that much of larger lb test... I just hate the little spools... anyone know where to get any off hand... those cheap red ones at Walmart that are real narrow has the large spools but can't find those anymore

Btw looking for the flat ones, don't want round ones or the tall wood ones.. I know I'm being picky lol


Thanks

I'm not sure but I think the beaver dam tip ups have a larger spool. I'm just curious though. What are you targeting that you need 500 yards of line?

pike.. but the200 yard spools is for like 8lb test... I like to use 25lb as I do fish for big pike but you can only get like 80 yards of the thick line until it starts to fall off the spool..with the 500 yard spool I can get an honest 100-150 yard of thick tip up line on those... I was spooled twice last year, luckily I was at the hole so I caught 1 and the other never Ate the bait enough,  he was still running... I also fish large dead baits and Swedish J hooks so it takes a bit longer for them to eat the bait sometimes
