Title: how much weight on tipups?
Post by: spearinfool on Feb 14, 2011, 06:26 PM

my name is mike and i'm new to the site.  this is great.  i am currantly using 1/8 oz slip weight but, i have been having alot of hit and drops.  should i lighten up or not use any?  i normally set tipups in less than 10 fow.  i see a lot of pike in the spear hole but, can't hook up.

I use about 8-16 oz of dead fish to get my hook to sink.
