Indian Hill?
« on: Jan 06, 2012, 05:35 PM »
  A buddy at work ordered a couple IH traps and brought them to work. I was playing with them and noticed they don't have a handle on the reels. All the traps I've owned have had a handle of some sort to wind your line in after you catch a fish. I guess you hold the spool or tighten the drag and wrap the line? I guess it's not a big deal just different then I'm use to. :tipup:

You can't go wrong with Indian Hill traps, I am on my third season with mine, no complaints here.

When I build my own tipups I build them with out handles on the real because they cause it to be unbalanced and make it more for a fish to drop the bait.  That may be the reason Indian Hill builds them that way.
