40 Ups are great traps. I would NOT suggest Heritage Lakers as the spring is to aggressive and the trap moves when the flag is tripped. I am replacing a lot of my Heritage traps with 40 ups.

Original polar tip up is a great tip up also . The adjustable trip settings are a huge feature. Lots of snow hard to see but other than that an excellent tip up

I have used a lot of different traps and Max Traps are my favorite. Thompson or Black Magic would be my second choice.

1 40up with the big yellow plastic spool'\, 1 jack trap cross, 1 beaver dam to put right on shore in a foot of water

Jack traps. No question.

Ht enterprises    Arctic bay tipup   hands down.    They have the same spool and trip setup like classic polar tipups with an upright design for deep snow .     For shallow brookies I would suggest using a foam hole cover also .  With these tip ups you can see the if the spool is turning even with the hole cover still in position.

On spring flags they are adjustable for hard or soft set by turning the spring

I agree jack traps. Should be the last trap you will ever have to buy unless some idiot on a snowmobile runs it over 🤬

jacks if you can afford them . 40 ups with the big plastic reels if you can't get jacks.

i fish for brookies with my lakers and haven't had problems with dropped bait. maybe a 6in. might not trip them but anything bigger will. i do like my 40ups for when I'm walking out on early ice when weight/ space is a issue. like the ones with the big plastic reels if you can find them.
