I saw the jigging tip-up in the DVD that Natures Vision has out
The spool dipping in and out of the water looked like a
nice feature
It looks cheap too
Thankyou
for proving that it is the POS it looks like

My wife bought me some ice fishing stuff from Cabelas for my birthday this coming friday. Well I couldn't wait and opened my gifts early. She got me one of these auto jigging tip ups. It does seem pretty cheaply made, but hey it was a gift and I'll use it for poops and giggles. I also got a new jig rod, thermals and one of Frabills orange disc looking tip ups. I'm used to the old fashioned 3 wooden stick tip ups. I ordered a new Polar and pimples from Cabelas last week, should be here any day now. We'll see how this auto jigging tip up works. If it's too cold to use, I have plenty of other tip ups to use.

Speaking of endorsment names, have you guys seen that plastic pos Roland Martin is putting his name on. The bazooka fisherman or what ever it's called. Come on I mean does being a pro sportsman pay so poorly you'd have to endorse such Kmart engineered crap. And as for the jig-up, don't feel to bad I was about 2 seconds from buying it on sale for 15 bucks my self, I mean I hear good things about the windlass and it does'nt look to me to be over built if you know what I'm say'n.

BarelyDog -
One dog to another, thanks for the report. It does not surprise me. I ordered their free CD this year, and
from their on info-merical could tell that thing was trouble. I think I remembered reading your experiences
last year, but it's not surprising. Hoping you get/got your tip-up jigging problem solved. If so, update us all please.

I picked up the Dec. Infishermen today, and watched the DVD they stuck in there. When they got to the part on the jig up, and I saw that spool going in and out of the water like that, I started to laugh and blew soda pop out my nose. I'll stick with my Beaver Dams thank you. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out whats going to freeze and not turn. They must of done their testing in July, off a dock or something.

Thanks Gents!
Yeah it's funny now! Last year was a different story... C. I'm glad that my mistake will help others in their decisions.
Mainedog, I did send it back to Cabela's and they refunded me my $$. I did write them a little letter of concern stating my dismay, (without losing my bearing.) Well my letter wasn't answered, (I assume it's due to Cabela's being swamped/overwhelmed with GENZ JIG UP returns eh!) Oh well!
Buschlite,
Amen to Beaver Dams! Infishermen is pimping this monster out now? Your right about testing it from a dock in the summer. Problem starts with us folks in Alaska who rarely fish in 32+ degree weather?
If you want something tested for WINTER use, send it up here! 8)
Good Fishing All!

i hate nature vision products. i got a 400$ aqua VU what a waste. that thing looked so cheap, and the aquaviews don't last as long as a vex would. they r a piece of crap. david genz is just greedy. he puts his name on everything he can that is ice fishing related as long as they give him some $$$.
i hate nature vision
. there products suck and r cheep. has anyone seen there folding chair in a shanty it looked like it would of blown away if no one was sitting in it. i am never going to by any nature vision products because of the poor quality. i prefer marcum's anyways.

I bought one for a gimic to bring along on an annual ice fishing trip I take with 6 buddies - 10 days of nothing but ice fishing. I put the thing in the water in spite of the harassment I knew I was going to take and believe it or not I caught a 26" pike on it. After that one fish I haven't been able to get it to work again - so it went in our box of "I told you so" crap.
