Ice Fishing
Tip downs.. looking for suggestions
Mine are all very similar to Bemigi below. I made all the stands and rod's myself. and have made sets of Three for all my nephews and kids I know. I make the rods using old Snoopy catch em and Barbie poles, I find at garage sales. The handles are wooden dowels and if I can find the Right Whitetail antler I will use that also as a handle. If i find some pictures of my set up I'll post.
Kind of a combination tip down/tipup but you get to use your rod and reel, which I like. I mainly use this for perch fishing in depths of 10 feet or more.
Nice looking.. low profile very nice.. l have some old school jig rods that were my grandfather that would work great on them... right now I run the HT spinning rod set ups... I like the set up you have maybe I can talk my brother into make a few for me . thanks gentlemen.. Bring on the ice..
I know you don't want to build them yourself but the basically same ones I built are available all over the internet facebook etc and most are alot nicer than mine but a bit pricey for what they cost to build. But yah tip down fishing is a ton of fun. In depth outdoors, etsy, Facebook, ebay all have tip downs for sale it all comes down to what design you like . I prefer wood for durability and the pope as close to the ice as possible less line dangling in the wind.
