Hi Guys. I just bought four Finicky Fooler tipups that I can't wait to try!
My question is this... I have an otter sled (not a flip over) that I mounted a long mesh cargo net onto. Would this be a good way to store/transport my finicky foolers? Or will them being exposed to the weather be a bad thing? There's no line to get tangled, so maybe I can get away with this?
Does anyone have a system for storing/transporting their finicky foolers (or similar rod style tip ups) that works well?
Figured I would ask since these are a little different than conventional tipups.

They'll be fine in there. I keep mine in my Striker Transporter bag with the rods when it's just me and I'm only setting up 2. I have a Cabela's tipup bag that I bought on clearance that fits all 6 of mine and a few tipups if I'm taking my kiddos out.

they are very durable! i just toss mine in a bucket or the sled, no worries

Sounds great! Can't wait to get out and use them! Thanks for the responses.

I bot this from Gander Outdoors for $15 and it holds 2 tip downs & 2 tip ups. I bot another one and it holds 4 rods.

I fit 5 Foolers, 5 Polar Tip Ups, 3 Wooden Tip Ups & 2 Sullivan Tip Downs in a milk crate I separate everything with small bungee cords creating sections I remove the Fooler Flags and put them in a corner of the crate I can fit more but that’s enough for any setup.
Works really well
