MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
found some on sale for pretty cheap and was wondering if they are worth it? any pros and cons? just wanna buy some traps of my own and the price was right
thanks guys. i might just buy the big lake tipups marks bait has. nice big spool and just a bigger trap all round, made some money shoveling and want to invest in some.. especially with all the snow we just got. had to snowblow paths around the pond!
marks bait will be last resort for sure.. im sure there will be some online deals coming up in the next few weeks
I prefer the visibility you get from a stick tip up but there is something to be said about the feeling you get seeing the top of a polar style spinning like a helicopter as your getting to it lol.
A lot of people I talk to like to use the for rainbows since they release smooth. I'm not a huge fan due to lack of vis. I run heritage Lakers. Funny story, I was fishing a pond earlier in the year when we had got some snow on 3" of ice. A buddy of mine had a couple brand new, never used, green polar traps. well the water had came up through the hole an his trap was floating in 2" of water. We fished all day w no action on that trap. Round 3 o clock I happen to see an orange spec out the corner of my eye and then it was gone. We headed over to see what was up, only to get there and find the trap gone! Apparently he got something and it made off with the trap. Down the hole it went. I've never had that prob with heritage. Lol
i think im ging to find some bigger tipups.. i just want ones with little handles on the spools. it makes it so much easier to reel back up after a fish runs for a while
any stores in nashua area selling them? or online only?
