well this morning me and my father each made an investment that totaled $520 dollars for 20 hertitaqge laker tilts and 80lb dacron line that will put 300 feet of that dacron on each spool it will be worth it because these are great tilts

Sweet purchase
They are a great tilt, good luck with them

That's all I own - awesome tilts. Stand real high above the snow and ice & never get wind flags!

i have had 5 of them for about 7 years but the last few years i wanted to get them but i wanted the metal spool so now i just decided to get more and just take the plastic spool on them

I made most of my invetments last year, traps, auger(gas, hand), jigging poles, aqua-vu. This year i got a frabill XLT and im working on getting a vex.

Last year was my first year and I started out with less expensive tilts. The sat so low in the snow that you couldn't see the flag. I even had a couple that almost got run over by vehicles on the ice. So it was off the Spags and I got the Heritage tilts. They're great. Worth every cent you pay for them. Enjoy your new purchase.

Great traps, I've had mine for years, and love them. enjoy!

I have always used Heritage traps, they are the best for the money. They improved them this year, same style but now laminated and smooth edges. They kinda look like Jack Traps, but still only 18.99 at Kittery Trading Post.

I bought Jack Traps last year and have no complaints, but the new Heritage are just as good but cheaper.

i got them for $18.50 but the line that we got was about 80 bucks for 1200 yards

If you have the time and patience to invest into icefishing, that's a very good start. You will also find that you will never have enough gear.

Every year that passes you will see something that you will want next year.

Good early Christmas Gift! Way to go! I use Heritage & the orange Polar ones. I don't know how the heck some of you guys can see those old red flags on those green tip-ups?
