More Ways To Use Ice Fishing Tip Ups
Fishing is considered the number one pastime and loved by men, women and children everywhere. It is a good way for families to enjoy the outdoors together. Friends can gather together and have a great time on the lakes and rivers fishing and it is even a wonderful way to relax and let the cares of the world pass on by.
Ice fishing is becoming more popular than ever because anglers are realizing all the benefits it has to offer. If you don’t mind the cold, it is the prefect time to go fishing. Due to the popularity of ice fishing many products have been designed to make it more fun, easier and more productive. One such product is the amazing tip-ups. What exactly is a tip-up? It is one of the most ingenious designs ever made that gives the angler more freedom.
It was designed especially for ice-fishing and it’s one of the best inventions ever made. All you need to do is place the device onto your fishing line and when you get a bite, there is a flag that “tips-ups” to let you know. This is a simple but very effective device that makes ice-fishing more convenient.
Selecting the Right Ice-Fishing Tip-Up
There are several different types of tip-ups being sold on the market today in a variety of prices. If you are not familiar with the product it could get a little confusing trying to determine which one would be the best choice. To help you out in this department it is a good idea to learn a little something about the product so you will know what features to look for.
There are certain features that make a great tip-up and they should be included with the product you buy. Before you purchase a tip-up it should have the main features that are listed below:
The Base – A good ice-fishing tip-up has a wide base that makes them more stable and therefore more dependable. The wide base prevents the unit from tipping over and possibly causing you to lose your catch.
The Bait Clip – This is a nice feature that will prevent false alarms from happening especially when you are using heavy baits. It will hold the line down under the ice-fishing tip-up more securely.
The Trip Bar – The trip bar is one of the most important features of the tip-up. It gives you the ability to adjust the tip-up to match the type of fish you are seeking. You can set it for heavy or light strikes. When the fish strikes your line this is the mechanism that releases and causes the flag to go up letting you know that you have a bite.
The Spool – This is the feature that holds you fishing line and it is recommended that you look for a tip-up with a large spool to ensure you have enough line to meet your needs no matter where you are ice-fishing. It would be very disappointing to get out on the ice, drill your hole and realize your spool is too small to benefit you.
The Color – You want a color that you can see easily. The bright florescent orange is a good choice.
