First fish on my...

[bart]

homemade tip-downs! I had lost 3 fish on the other tip-downs rigged with 2lb. leader.(broke off) I changed out the last one with straight 4lb test and connected! I was jigging and as the fish started slowing down on the bite I put out 4 tip-downs I had made. Then the fish stopped biting... Next time I use them I'll get them in right away.

thats really nice where did u get the reel you put on it?

[jayswimmer09]

its always the best when someting you make works!!

You cant beat catching fish on something you made with your own hands. I got a jig rod that i made and i love cathing slab gills on it. It the top from a broken Orvis fly rod. Its really sensitive and i love it for what it is made by me for me.

Good job, love seeing guys catch fish on equipment they made themselves.

Always awesome to catch something with a homemade rig!

[troutaddict33]

yeah where did u get that reel... and any possible way to get a closer pic of where the line goes after it comes off the reel... did u just make a hole for it to go into the small pipe??

[miket.]

pretty cool, thats what you call using your noggin.

I purchased the reels at Gander Mtn., $2.39.

I ran the line through a elongated hole in the pipe.

The reels can be purchased at Gander Mount, Dick's. Sportsman's guide.

I am so PROUD of you !!!
I just love it when we can come up with more uses for duct tape and/or PVC pipe (and often a few beers to jog the idea)! I still think the Tater Gun is one of the best inventions to beat with PVC. But I have to say this one will be in the running. That thing is awesome!

wow i likey ive never tried a tip down maybe next year i will

[pooley]

great idea!!!!! i was thinking of how to make one. never though about PVC. and i made other stuff out of it.

[jimmyclaude]

We were thinkin of makin tip downs this Summer ... You may have influenced our design

[Airs24]

How did you come up with the idea?  That's very cool!!!!

[rileyross]

pretty nifty

Come on what happend to the old branch and a piece of flagging tape methied, nothing works better. There is no need to get so hi tech and spend money when you can't do something just as good for almost nothing money wise.

[jimmyclaude]

he is probably a plumbing contractor and only had old pipe and would have had to buy the old sticks
