tip up hook holder

[dodgetech4]

ive heard these suck. what do you guys use to hold your hooks on tip ups

[Light liner]

Work for me, been using them for years. I replace them beginning
Of every season

[CamoAndTieDye]

I just snag free corks from my wino friends and cut slices with a big kitchen knife, then glue them to the side of the tip up reel. They usually fall off by the end of the season and I just do it again the next year. Works well enough for me.

I use foam sheets that I bought for fly tying.  They are thin, 2 or 3 mm maybe and come in sheets that you can buy at most craft stores.  I cut rings and epoxied them to my spools.  They've been on there for 7 years now and I've never had to replace any of them.  Plus they come in all different colors so they look cool too!!!

Thanks for sharing that, sounds like I'm hitting a craft store

There was another post on this.  This was what I did.https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=330878.msg3508690#msg3508690

Here you can see one stuck to my leg.

I use the velcro hook holders that Eagle Claw makes, basically it's an orange strip of material with a grommet and velcro on it.

[fishingidjit]

I just stick the hook gently back into the line on the reel, don't bury the barb!

[DirtyDan23]

i cut an old wine cork into slices and just superglued them to my spools. Working great so far!

[BlackDucksAndBrownDogs]

flagfishon has it right.  Get some double-sided velcro and grommet kit to make your own. 

Measure the circumference of your spool(s) first!  I have a bunch color-coded by trap.  Yellow is for 4" spools (Jack Traps).  Blue is for 3" spools (also Jack Traps).  And, black is for my Heritage Lakers.  You get the idea...

I buy these Velcro straps in packages of 50 I think in the electrical section of a hardware store. I use two of them on my big spools . On smaller spools you may get away with one. I put my hook in the loop on the end and wrap around the spool. Bought a new roll for around $6 recently.  If I lose one , they are easy to replace. Stick two together and make what ever size you need.

This works well on trebles...

I just pinched off one barb on each treble hook and just stick that in the spool speeds us up when its 14 tip ups your picking up at the end of the day

A rubber band around hook then wrap around whole reel.

I found these at Walmart this year. I think it was $1.47 for a 3 pack. They won’t work with all types of tipups, but for this style, they seem to be working well.

[poupster2]

ScotNH, That is sweet! 

I tryed the velcro ones but they do not last in the cold. 

[spot]

Old shoe laces work.

[Icemanvt]

The velcro strips work great! Use them on every tipup! No tangles what so ever. Only problem is at the end of the day you pull out a big velcro ball mess from your pocket. 

[ice warrior]

velcro works awesome

Very cool, but what are they called?

[ScotNH]

“Tip up hook holder” just a funny coincidence that the name on the package is identical to the thread title?

[ActiveTrapChecker]

Yes very ironic. thanks for the information!

[Motorfish]

I drilled small holes around the circumference of the tip up spool. I put the hook in which ever hole works. Seems to work pretty good and nothing to lose or fumble with in the cold.

A nice side bonus of the hook holder is that is stretches the leaders a bit.

[HWeber]

i use something similar to the celcius ones, plain old O rings work great too

[schmidtxc]

I just epoxy'd foam packing peanuts to the reels. They fall apart after a year or so, but it's never hard to find foam peanuts.
