Gander had them for $29 so I pulled the trigger and got a couple.  They sure seem nice.

Congrat's on your new tip-ups, you'll love them. I've been fishing mine for over twenty years and have had ZERO problems. They are awesome!

I have used others.....but nothing beats a good quality Beaver!
One of my buddies has a couple that were his dads. He re-lubed them a couple years ago but they are 30+ years old and work like new.
They are pricey, but you will never need to replace them. Not to metion they are made in the USA, not Japan or china.

I got 2 Beaver Dams a few weeks ago at a rummage sale.
Both are in excellent condition. 1 has a dark stained board, the other is the usual blonde color.
Got both of them for $15. :o

I'll post pics of my Jolly Roger Beaver Dam, as well as the cribbage board I made. I'll post 'em tomorrow before the Packer game!

You'll love them!  Got some box tip ups, round and regular Frabill's, stick tip ups and the Beavers.  Beaver Dam's hands down all the way.  Fin

You won't regret buying them. They will last you a lifetime. In my book they are the best you can get. You will be selling your old traps (if you have any) to buy more. Once you have a taste of the best' You'll never want the rest.  Steve

As already mentioned they will last a lifetime if taken care of. I have 4 of them going on 22 years. Only one of those 4 need the grease re-packed in it. I'll be trying that myself in the next couple of weeks.
Just waiting for the hardwater.
