Was just at Old Town Trading Post.  They had 6 new in box.  $119.95 each.  They're sweet, and I'd love to have one, but that much is a bit much for me.

   Because I regularly ice fish a lake that has very high potential of an Illinois record Muskie and Walleye I figured out a way to use a rod and reel with these HEATED AUTO JIGGING tipups. You can see the video showing the set up and full operation by going here:

 


 When I was younger I landed a 40" 18 1/2 lb. Pike by hand on a tip up and it is very tense and has a high potential of losing the fish without the give of a rod and drag of a reel. Now I am looking forward to hooking a giant with this set up. So far 2 days with 2 setups both rigged with 10" plus herring and still waiting for first monster. I just hope someone else is close by to use my camera to video it so I can share the moment. Lance.

 :-\ I know this is an old posted topic. I'm new to this forum, so I'm not even sure it will be seen as an updated "reply" or post. I have just acquired some Finicky Fish Factory traps and would like some advice from anyone that has them.
What is the best way to set trip for jigging arm? small bobber? or???
What is the best way to bank the trap... all four sides? What is the best setting for back side vent for burning oil lamp? or candle in glass cup, which apparently I've been told some use? Any advice or instructions how these best work, would be helpful. O primarily fish for trout, salmon and togue (lake trout).

pack snow around the box. you don't have to vent.     I use a slip knot. little bobber will work. the 30sec delay works the best.

If that thing went off around me I would get on my sled and run it over to make it stop. That is just ridiculous.
