MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
What tip ups do you like/think that they are the best on the market and why?
I own and have used a couple of different tip ups. From my experience I would just suggest the Frabill orange thermal tip ups. They aren't priced to bad, and they are a thermal tip up which is really nice when the temps get cold. It keeps the holes from freezing shut. Also keeps them visible
The beaver dams spin the easiest so the fish never drop the bait. they last a lifetime. won't fish with anything else
Ya hit the nail right on the head Loggy, the Frabill Arctic fire tip ups have been the best overall panfish and Rainbow trout tip ups that I've ever owned, and I've owned them all over the years ! Most sensitive due to the ability to infinitely adjust the flag trip pressure to the ability to simply remove one nut and re lube them every year ! To the diehard BD guys, ever since Uncle Josh Bait company bought out BD, they have been turning out an Inferior over priced shadow of the once Great BD trap ! My die hard BD fan buddy bought 5 new BDs last fall, ever single one had issues, dragging spool shafts, breaking spool shaft solder joints, bad glue joints that failed when exposed to water and the list goes on ! BD is like Jiffy in a way, they were once the pinnacle of the ice fishing gear world, now they are huge corporation's who are more concerned with the bottom line then the shoddy manufactured, over priced products they are pumping out the doors nowadays to satisfy the investors and board of directors !! All the ice fishing gear makers are going in this same sad direction and we as consumers ultimate pay the price ! Sorry for the rant, I'm just tired of all the overpriced junk being put on the market today !!
