Built a dozen for the family this summer.... Big traps,. 43" with a 30" spring. 4" reels... 90% all stainless/aluminum hardware.. total cost was about $18/trap unlined.
I'm not a tip-up guy anymore thanks to JawJackers, but these look like real quality builds. Just trying to give you an option you might not otherwise be aware of.
Hey DNinja make your own Jawjacker.Easy/cheap to make just a board, pc PVC pipe, and a mouse trap took me about 20 minutes. I have two PVC pipes for short and longer poles. After I took the first pic I added a tie to the tip so the trip wire would not run thru the eye. Doing this also gives the rod tip more time to get out of the way of the slapping jaw.(Image removed from quote.)
I like the setup musky. What length and action of rod do you like for pike? I'm thinking 36" M, maybe ML? Also, would twist ties work as well as rubber bands?
