I do. Set 'em light. On Polars there's kind of an infinite range if you tinker a bit. See diagrams below:
Fig. 1
Fig.2The first options in Fig. 1 depend on which way your line is spooled. Basically if the cross member turns toward the top of the flag it has to push the spring down just a bit before it trips making it more difficult. Conversely, if it turns toward the base of the flag it's sliding down a bit of a decline and the pressure of the spring helps it trip more easily.
In the Fig.2, tilting the entire shaft accentuates those basic settings. Tilt toward the front of the flag = more difficult, rear of the flag = easier. A minor amount of tinkering will get you exactly the trip you are looking for.
The one down side: Those springs on those flags are very robust and the bases so light that often the tippy will rock or move somewhat when the flag pops. Some guys say that spooks fish. You don't get that with boards because of their base weight. If I think it's gonna be a factor I save a little ice slush from the hole or pack some snow around the base to keep it still.
