MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I don't know that they even have a name, but they are very popular in Northwest Michigan - where they are made. They have the huge 1:1 orange spool, and usually green wood. I've never used anything else with as great of success. I've been beating the crap out of my same 3 for over 10 years and they still work the same as they did they day I bought them from a garage sale.
My family made the big reel tip-ups for over 40 years before selling to the man in Suttons Bay back in 2K. They were the best for deep water fishing for Lakers as the line comes off the reel with no resistance.

That's very cool!Doing a research paper on the history of "Big Reel TipUps" would be a great topic for anyone with kids at home looking for a topic on a paper.Good Luck All
I like the classic ol’ Polars. Cheap, tough, and functional.My favorite “tip-up” I’ve seen was when I was kid in the 90’s and my brothers friend coated the inside of old milk jugs with fluorescent paint, tied some tip-up line to the handle, then just laid the jug on the ice however long the line was away from the hole (long enough line for pike). It’s odd seeing a bright pink milk jug flying across the ice but when you did it was fun trying to beat it to the hole lol.
