My grandfather used to have a type of tipdown some 40 years ago, and I want to find something similar. I remember them being about a 1x4 about 2 feet long. There was a spool mounted to it, with the flag pivoting in the middle. On the flag was a lead weight that slid once the fish had taken the line. You planted them at a 45 degree angle with a metal spike that came out from the bottom. What are they called, and where could I find some? I suppose I'll make them if I can't find similar ones.
