well I'm sure this isn't the first time but I'm gonna ask it anyway. i was given all of my grandpa's ice fishing stuff after he passed and there were two tip ups in with it. Cant really read the name brand but about all i can see out of it is beaver, as Ive seen u guys mention in other posts. I would like to try pike fish with them, but i know nothing about tip up or pike. So i thought i would ask on a few things that I'm not really understanding. First question, not really sure what the parts are called, at the top the little t thingy mabobber that your flag goes under one is tapered one is straight. I'm assuming ones easier to trip then the other, but what and when does that apply as to which one u use? Second question, what are these clips that u guys talk about. Mine i believe are missing them, not sure if u need them or not. Third question, this might sound really strange but there is a button on the line? what is that used for or was he doing something really billy with his tip ups? So far these are the only things that i can think of right now.
thanks,
