Tip downs, not tip-ups.   

Jacktraps have no tipdowns.       ;)2       Here's a photo of the best I've seen and built.     Credit the photo to Wolfpak.    :bow:

Wisconsin Dangler is one of the best and most sensitive that I've seen. Also has a flag indicator that trips even if the rod comes back up and can be set with a free running line. Very well designed.

Papa, upon inspection of the Wisconsin Dangler, true, it's a great design.

I'm probably wrong as usual in calling it a "pivoting rod holder".

When something pulls it down and releases it, it returns to the balance point, so, well, I'll stop with that.

The link above your post is a true tip down.  When it goes down, it stays down. A bread sack tie will trip it, giving "FREE" line with zero haul back.

Here'tiz :

Those wisconsin danglers are what I use too. They work great on trout and crappies. They don't feel any resistance when they are running line out. Really fun to fish with.
