Allagash traps

[on-ice]

Does anybody know any outfitters that still sell Allagash traps and/or parts for them? KTP no longer carries them.  I tried google, amazon, and ebay but didn't have any luck other than Neilson's Sporting Goods which is 1.5 hours from me.

I've been using these traps for 20+ years now and they're begining to show there age but I'm not ready to give up on them yet. 1 needs a new reel and 2 others could use new trip rods. The other 4 I have work flawlessly.

I believe you can use jack trap parts. I've had my alagash traps about 15 years, i looked into getting more but couldnt find any. The Jacks look like they use all the same stuff, or similar.

A few years back I purchased an Allagash tipup from Sportsmans BARR (bows archery rods reels) located in Gardener,ME. I have know idea if this business still exists might be worth a Google search.

It appears they went out of business

On-Ice sorry I can not be of further help the person who owned Sportsmans BARR was an Ice Shanty member. I do not remember his website name. Have you done a search on the tipup to see if the company that makes them is still in business?

Johnson's sporting goods in Portland had them a few years ago . It would be worth giving them a call .

I gave them a call. He said they haven't sold them for 10 years. Lol

Maybe try the Brunswick store ?

Johnson's no longer sells them either 

I was able to fix problems with the reels wabbling simply by replacing the 1/4''x3" bolt.

I have 1 Jack trap that I'm going to use to test if the reel fits tonight. I'll let ya'll know if it works or not!

the man who made the allagash traps, and hook 'um parts dropped off the face of the earth three winters back. Van Raymonds and I havn't been able to make contact with him since.
