Author Topic: How to make a homemade jigging tip-up - aka windlass tip-up (Read 19423 times)

ih772 · « **on:** Mar 06, 2012, 12:37 AM »

This is an idea I've had in the back of my mind for a while now, a wind powered jigging tip-up, aka, windlass tip-up. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I started with the old classic “crossed arms” tip-up, modified it, and turned in into a jigging tip-up. I know there are other designs out there, but I wanted to make one that was my own.

This design is primarily for Walleye, Crappie and Perch. Use braided line as backing and wind a few layers of mono on top, being careful not to over fill the reel. The mono will resist freezing should the line get wet. The current design can handle up to a ¼ ounce jig and Walleye minnow. If someone wanted to use heavier tackle and minnow, the weight of the egg sinker counter balance would need to be increased. This is my take on a wind powered jigging tip-up. I'm sure other types of tip-ups could be modified as well. Be sure to read the construction tips before getting started. Have fun and tight lines!

I also made a .PDF file of the instructions. You can print the instructions and take them out into the workshop with you. Send me a PM and I'll email the .PDF should someone want it.

When I first saw the picture I wasn't sure how it'd work, but once I saw it in action I see it does very well. Nicely done.

You really don't need the plans, it is one of those projects that is simpler than it looks. I did it the first time and I didn't even look at the website he has while I built it.
Hey, I didn't even use a premade tip up, mine was all done with a table saw and spokeshave! If your a visual person and you can picture things while you make them you should have no problem.

If you want a faster response, send the OP a PM.

Anyone that wants a copy of the .PDF needs to send me a PM. I don't read this thread very often so sending me a PM is the fastest way to get a copy of the file.

Maybe I'm a little slow, but just for clarification, how does the flag trip?

The same way as any other tip-up.

ih772 · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 02:09 PM »

When you guys send me a PM asking for the instructions PDF, you need to include your email so I have place to send the file.

nelcustbuild · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 18, 2014, 12:44 PM »

Can someone please send the pdf to me @ [email protected]. Thanks
