Hi everyone, I am thinking of starting my own business building tip-ups. Any info would help me make up my mind. My traps will be made of hard wood probably rose wood or maple with a high gloss finish so thet won't freeze to the ice. Also all different size spools for all kinds of fishing, you will have your choice of flags, plastic or felt in any color and size. If you want they can be painted any color, or your name put on them for I.D. purposes. I am a fisherman with the want and need for quallity fishing gear, are you?
