I need a simple tip down. Any ideas?
Not interested in making something but would like to buy something without spending a bunch of money....

Welcome to Iceshanty, Robin hood.

There are about a hundred pages here.    Click on "search", enter "tip down", scroll to the bottom and make it go.

Good luck.    ;)2

Here just use my idea and make some real cheap.

Or buy one of these.

And drill a hole in the top of it and bend the wire on each end so it doesn't come out when you catch a fish.
Bottom Picture is the Mr. Jigger. Sold on e-bay or on their site. The top one works just the same and I have made 2 of them.

Follow rgfixit and Sodusitous advice. Those are the best tip downs on the market. Have seen them inplay many times around here. They work flawlessly and at $32.00 a per tip down. They are not out of line in price.
Flags up! Bobbers down!

I have one of these... but went with another option ....http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=267458.0 made by a member here... the HT will work and is inexpensive .
