A FNG goes to rehab - tilts that is....
« on: Jan 12, 2010, 09:04 PM »
So I am new to ice fishing.

Last year I scored a bunch of smelt in ME and this year am trying some more local hard water in RI.

I did a trade with a fellow last year and didn't really pay that much attention to what he gave me.  I was mostly interested in the two (2) rods we traded.  Upon further inspection - I scored!

These are all old school 40 up tip ups.  All are in working condition, but all also need some TLC and updating.


first I stripped all the line and other terminal gear.

Wiped them all down and then masked off the top part of the tip ups.

The are all primed in this pic.  Tomorrow, onto the blaze orange!!
