I picked up enough of them this sumemr for Alaskan Dreams, Bensmen, and myself.  They're pretty well thought out, really.  Drag and sensitivity are easily adjustable, and there is a battery-operated light which you can have turn on when the flag pops up.  Nifty little tipup Frabill has made.

I had a couple of those years ago. They sat in the bucket unused and basically rotted. I always had enough Beaver Dams for the spread. Never got around to trying them.
