get a peice of 2x2 about 24" long , cut one end at a 45 degree angle, get an old style "spring" door stopper/bumper and attach it to the 45degree cut, remove the rubber cap on the end of the spring stopper/bumper and get a peice of dowling about 18" to 24" long to fit into the spring ,get 2 small "eye" screws and attach one at the base of the dowling and one at end . on the 2x2 drill 2 holes the same dia as the dowling 6" apart at a 45degree angle (one facing up word one facing down ward) about 1/4" deem and cut 2 peices of dowling about 1" long .glue them in the holes (these will be for spooling your line on or you can use the plastic ice reels instead)use a clipon fish bell and you have a reliable tipup
