how do you guys rig your tip ups for bass most importantly what do you use for leaders

billditrite · « **Reply #1 on:** Dec 29, 2004, 04:57 AM »

8- 10 lb flouro will work nicely real strong and the bass dont even know it is there.

I tie on a ballbearing swivel to my braided line then I use a 17 lb test flourocarbon about 3 ft long and use a circle hook. I also put a split shot sinker around 1 foot above the hook to keep the bait down around 1 foot off the bottom. If your not familiar with circle hooks then what you do is when you get a flag don't yank it to set the hook, circles set themselves just keep steady pressure on the line and pull it in.

I rigged up something similar to this, put a swivel on my base line and to that attached my three foot leader which is trilene micro ice 8 lb test for a hook, I couldnt find circles gotta go lookin a couple other places for them, I have octopus hooks they look similar to circles, is there a differance

Can't target bass with tipups here in NY, but when I've caught them, its been on a 6 foot leader of 6 lb mono, with a #12 or a #14 treble.

20 pound fluorocarbon for everything. I have caught perch and pike on my tip ups doing that.

mr tip up · « **Reply #16 on:** Mar 19, 2013, 03:26 PM »

8 to 10 lb floro #10 treb a split shot about a ft above the hook

Bozeiceman · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 21, 2013, 11:29 PM »

I use 36lb Dacron and slide on a 1/4 oz egg sinker (sliding) then tie on a ball bearing swivel. that sets depth. To the swivel I tie a 3 foot piece of 17-30 floor or mono then use a #6 Gamakatsu treble. The 3 foot determines the radius. I use a 1!8 oz rubbercore about six to twelve above the bait to slow the bait down.

12lb Floro with a quick strike rig, best bass thru the ice 8.3lbs;

Chris338378 · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 22, 2013, 11:43 AM »

I use six feet of 30 pound Spider Wire EZ Braid, which is the same diameter as 8 pound mono) and attach it with a barrel swivel to my Dacron.

FishADK · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 04, 2014, 06:59 PM »

How long does the flouro and mono last?
I can't imagine they last longer then wire leaders

I use wire leaders, and would make the switch to the mono or fluoro if they last.
Are you limited to how hard you can pull the line?

Chris338378 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 06, 2014, 08:18 PM »

When I use to use Mono I would change it every year because it would get a memory and coil bad and loose it's strength. The one time I didn't I got into the bass the first time out and every time I got them to the bottom of the hole it broke. A hard lesson learned and one I never forgot. A few years ago a friend of mine told me about the Spider Wire EZ Braid and I've been using that ever since. It doesn't get a memory and keeps it's a lot stronger with small line diameters.

Not needed, making this to complicated.

MRC2572 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 16, 2014, 04:00 PM »

Just a question for those of you who use 6 - 10 lb fluoro. I like the idea of low vis but how often does a pickerel or something like it cut through that thin line?

stripernut · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 16, 2014, 06:03 PM »

Not often at all, but I do need to cut it back sometimes...

missoulafish · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 11, 2014, 11:55 AM »

If you let them inhale the bait, it could get cut off. If you hit them as soon as a pike or pickerel bites you will hook them on the gum line and not have nearly as many issues getting cut off.
