Slammerman,Have tried the Pike Slammin link and apparently my browser will not open or the site is not working properly, as the article will not open for me.-Reelcharacter
I finished my Slammers 2 weeks ago and I'm 0 for 2 on bites. The first one set the slammer off and the minnow was completely gone and there was no jerking of the rod. It's like the fish grabbed the minnow right off the hook. Last Saturday I had one on and after a few tugs he let the minnow go. I even had a stinger treble hook on and I'm surprised the hook didn't set.
Don't bother getting sucked into paying $33 for something you can build yourself for a few dollars. Check out the inventions section under equipment.
could slammerman be associated with the slamco company that markets slammer kits?...he seems to be discouraging people from using their own skills to construct quality homemade slammers.

I OWN the company. And I do discourage people from "trying" to copy my designs and ending up with cobbled up junk and calling them "slammers" when they are not .... gives REAL Slammers a bad nameYou're NOT going to construct quality homemade slammers unless you are doing so from the kit.Some people, like billditrite, DO make their own ice-fishing devices (most are take-offs of some design of mine, Whip-Ups, or Trippers), but they are NOT Slammers.I did a little archive checking and I'm fairly sure Knife2sharp did NOT make Slammer Tip-Ups from the kit. The kit comes with INSTRUCTIONS.Slammer Tip-Ups (a.k.a. Slammers) is a TRADEMARKED BRAND NAME and does NOT refer to any and all tip-up/rodholder devices, or homemade "copies" of Slammer Tip-Ups.
No one I know will be giving an egomaniacal self-marketing a$$ like yourself any of our business....get over yourself "slammerman", you did not invent this type of device...you simply make devices that are spin-offs of designs that have been in existence for decades in the midwest. To accuse someone of stealing your design when that is exactly what you have done is quite hypocritical in nature. Oh and FYI...inventiveness is certainly a word of the English vocabulary...I have a master's degree and do not appreciate an insult of my intelligence or constructive abilities. Without further elaboration, my principal point is that people do exist who do not fall into advertising hype and who reap enjoyment by using things that they build themselves....one should not be so quick to discourage this practice out of self-interest.
Dear Slammerman,I read about slammers in an article in the Michigan Sportsman. I made my own to the exact measurements from someone you bought your build-it-yourself kits. I dont see how a tube rod holder versus your spiral one would make a difference in catching fish so please explain it to me. From now on for the sake of copyrighting I will no longer call what I built slammers. They are slappers.thank you for your time.
