Questions & Answers

Do they have the same effect as the hand made Beaver Dams made by us in the USA?

You're referring to the higher end model I used last year. It was a gift, but I used it again this year and it worked well. Most likely, they would last longer since they are better made. However, it is more expensive.

When it comes to wingnuts, how big are they?

According to my memory, it was a quarter-inch The thread count is 20. I was gifted with a wing nut that was about 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch in width.

Can you give me an idea of how much 20lb dacron line the spool can ?

In 20lb 200 yard spools of Woodstock Ice Line, I was able to fill 2 tip up spools and I have some left over, so I don't know exactly how many yards I used.

Ice fishing rig of the highest quality! It's the best! Ice fishing has evolved as a result of this
5/5

A much improved wooden cross rig than the traditional wooden cross! I love this one because it's so easy to set up! You can fold it up neatly once you're done using it. A ruler even comes with it so you can measure the size of This is the best! This is the best! I All my rigs will be replaced by these eventually. I have only one negative note to make There were a few things I wish were Depending on the size of the hole, I was scared that fish might wiggle the rig and make it fall down. There's no way it will happen, but maybe it will. If only the plastic base was a couple more inches long, it would be perfect!.

It's not very nice the way the flags are placed
3/5

Today, I used it once. The flags appear to be of good quality, but damn they are half way up when set. There is also no flag up since the set position is only maybe 6 inches higher than the flag up position which, at this point, appears to be The flag should really sit lower. It took me a few minutes to get used to it.

I like the way it is I find that it is well made and sturdy, not flimsy like a lot of tip ups
5/5

The sensitivity is quite good and doesn't trip it, but it also doesn't miss nibbles. A very good overall experience.

There is a missing component that makes the system function correctly
3/5

I like your tip up very much. An exceptionally high level of There was no wing nut included in the package, so it received 2 stars. If this piece is not present, it is almost worthless. In order to purchase the item, I have to visit the store. This doesn't sit well with me.

Fisherman's catch net made of durable material
5/5

When it comes to plastic tip ups, this one is far better than the HT. There is no beaver dam, however, it also won't set you back $50+ Catching fish is definitely a good thing.

I am glad
5/5

This is the best purchase you can make. My fishing companions are no longer with me, since I have fished with them all. The Frabill's I buy are the only ones I purchase.

You made a great point there! It's a great product, well made, and I like how the spool is brass as opposed to cheap plastic or steel that will rust

It also has measurements on the side of it.
