I have been reading some of your posts about building your tip ups. I was wondering if you make the clips that hold the brass trip tube in place? Do you purchase them? I think I saw you have used some Jack Trap components in the past. Inspired me to upgrade some of my own and build some new ones that incorporate some of your upgrades. Any thoughts / preferences on the cross style versus the H style ti ups?
Finished the last of the drilling and glued and pinned the stabilizers . All the cross braces and spool are through bolted using stainless or brass threaded inserts, nothing can work loose or swell when wet. Now I get to take it all apart to samd,seal and Finnish..no more pictures until it's done..I've added a stainless big bait clip for large pike or laker baits
Is their a notch for that trigger rod on the cross stick or is it just opened on the wrong side. Looks like it would pinch the rod and not allow it to function freely. Other then that looks Awesome.
Great job Joe!! looks awesome love the color scheme and the flag
There is no " wrong side"I prefer to have the cross centered on the trigger side.. not behind it.. what are you talking about...nothing pinches anything...the trigger is 2 piece.. there is a wire inside the tube...the cross never touches it and if it did.. it would not matter.
color scheme kind of goes with the "stealth" bomber scheme. I hope he salutes that flag often!
I can assure you Joe, I have no intentions of cranking on the lumber hard enough to crush the trigger tube... A fella would have to be awefully hard on equipment to think that would be a concern...
The way it's set up there is a small gap , it cant hit it.. that tube is thick enough you would need a vice to crush it..Iv e built maybe 50 the same way..all still fishing without issues.We need ice!..forecast ain't looking favorable..we might end up.meeting at lake X and casting shiners on bobbers and eggs on a bubble so I can give you this thing before I'm old(er) and grey(er)
I’ll most likely be there New Years like I have been for the last 15 years or so at my old faithful there inshore
Haha good man not mentioning the make and model
