The one with the flag!!!!

Don't have a favorite brand, but I would like to try a Polar Therm(the one that covers the hole and fits in a bucket), and I saw a couple of Jack Traps this weekend...now that was a nice looking, smooth triggering tip-up.   I may convert over time. 

I love a flag!!!!

Most of all I like the regular yellow Frabil ones. My first ones I bought were the black Polars and I still have them also for extra people that come along. But I do like the Yellow Frabil most so far.

Beaver Dam/Arctic Fisherman tipups are the best IMO.

Hole cover is always an issue and when it's really cold I'll use the 3 Frabill Thermal (yellow w/ built-in lights) that I picked up last year.

I live 8 miles from Frabill and 30 or so from Beaver Dam's factory....I favor my home state stuff.
