It's actually called "Finicky's Fish Factory"

I don't know if they're still being made.
Reed's used to sell them, but I can't find one on their online catalog.
Anyhow, Reed's would probably know.  Call and ask to talk to someone in fishing, they'll probably know.

Also, I'm gonna be at the St Paul Icefishing show Dec 5-7.  I'll keep an eye out for a Finicky's; if I find one, I'll let ya know.
Have YOU Clamped YET ?

It now says "Not Offered At This Time"

I own 2 of these wonderful creations. I keep one set up for walleyes and one for pike most the time. They didn't always work as good as they do now. I had a problem with the line slipping up and over the metal loop line guide when using automatic jigger. So i fixed that and now my line markers reel through the guide as well. Then I hard wired an on/off switch on the top off the unit to shut jigger off without losing the trailer light feature.Which makes it real convenient. I attached carry straps and I sewed new fabric flags for each. finally I outfitted them with strikesensors. Finicky's come new each set up just a little different. The spring tension er may need adjusting to achieve desired spool tension. I have lost fish because the spool back lashed when strike occurred before I fixed this problem.
