Trapper I've got a couple ,glad you made this post, forgot I owned them(there in a closet).There ok sort of like a little tip down. I can't really remember if they worked great or just ok. (back in my drinking days)

I personally love them--they keep my fingers warmer than using tip ups. Just have your drag set on your reel and you'll be fine. I think my catch rate is a little higher with these and you can watch the fish hit....your rod tip will do some dancing. Just remember to put your name and address on them....they count as a tip up. tight lines to ya

I see these tip downs have flags in ads. How do they trip?

[mealworm]

my buddy uses them there great the only thing is if you use big bait you get bait flags i made 2 different but similar versions that work well and you can use the drag on the real to keep from getting bait flags (the bait i use is 12''to 14'') i do plan oon getting a few arctic warriors

warriors are great it allows you to fight the fish with a jig rod, but fish it like a tipup..........you can eliminate the "bait flags" if you wrap the line an extra time around the (flag rod)   the line will still come loose when u get a fish.....also do the extra wrap if u use super line or anything but mono.

[jimmyclaude]

so ..... you have to wrap it around the trip rod?
