i think you would run into trouble fishing two tip-ups in a quickfish 2

I would say its a little tight in the QF-II for two tip ups. I think you may end up with a little tangle-age and one ticked off angler if you loose a few.

You should be able to run rattle reels inside there though. The rattle reels that come with the rubberized clamps should be able to clip on the pole without damaging the fabric. We do almost the same thing when we spear and we have the decoy line wound on a rattle reel and hang it from a roof pole.

I was thinking about getting a rattle reel for my flipover. I dont want one if the clamp is going to wear a hole through the side of the shack. Has anyone had a problem with these clamp on rattle reels in a flipover?

As said, tight quarters for two tip-ups.

That being said, consider this. Fish taking a tip-up tend to run toward deeper water. So if you are set up on a breakline, set up so that the shack faces deep water and is parallel to the breakline. Then put your holes as far apart as possible. When a fish takes one bait, it will tend to run straight out the way your shack is facing, and with luck will not tangle the other rig.

Isn't a tipup in a fishhouse illegal?

it is no different then using a rattle reel. You are in the house so it is not unattended. using this thinking I would say it is okay to do this. I have yet to find anything in the regs that say you can't do this and I read the book each year.

tip ups are ok to use in a fishhouse. personaly i would use a rattle wheel instead. takes up less room and you have only the line to deal with. good luck.

What about the rattle reel made by Otter? They have the same clip as the support poles have.

Just a thought

how about the rattle reels on a stick, do they even make them anymore.

If tipups are going to get tangled why not rattle reels? They would both tangle just the same. Just run one rattle reel and jig the other.
