New tip up method for big pike!!!!!
 
Was serching the web for some ice fishing tips and came across a site that decribes how to use a downrigger clip on a tip up so that you can fish LARGE baits without trippin the flag. Thought it was a good idea and figured i would pass it along to the HARDWATER GUYS! Its called
NEW TIP UP METHODS FOR HUGE PIKE - The Outdoor Writer
Check it out and let me know what you think. I'm gonna set up one or two tip ups and try it myself...............

Why would you not want to trip a flag? That's the whole point of a "Tip Up" !

:rolleyes: The IDEA is so that You can use a LARGE LIVE BAIT such as a BIG SUCKER/PERCH/TROUT/CHUB/JUMBO SHINERS and not have the LARGE LIVE BAITFISH tripping the flag continuously while You are waiting for a Large Fish (like a musky or pike) to take the bait and:
THEN THE LARGE FISH (like a musky or pike) WILL TRIP THE FLAG!:rolleyes:

Clothes pins and rubber bands on the base of your tipup will work too. Make sure the clip isn't too tight though or they might rip your bait right off the hook. I wouldn't worry about all that if you want big pike though, dead bait is better.

You Can Clip The Tail Of The Bait Down Too.it Works On All Big Live Baits.
