Beaver Dam tip-ups

IMO Well worth the money. Would it kill em to put a little piece of metal on the end of the spool so they wind up a little easier.

many moons ago buddy and I invented a gadget that adapted to the "T" allowing you to spin it like a fishing reel. Course, someone else had the same idea and patented it, though I'm not sure where they sell it, looks like a spiral made of metal with an L on top. You then have the tip up between your legs and spin it up quick n easy. I know Beaver has their own winder on their site, but never used it so have no idea how good it works.

one for about 15.00 that has a larger metal spool. I like the metal spool, but it is to big.

Not if you're anglin' for Lakers...right Steve .

I have some Beaver DAM TIP-UPS that I bought in the mid 70's. Last year my spool started to finally get stiff. I went to you tube and watched the video about repacking them. By the time I bought the lube and solder, I was at about $8. I spent about one half hour in the garage and repacked four of the oldest ones. The fix was easy. I actually found it interesting. Anyway I may not ever buy another Beaver Dam based on the price but being I have eight and they last like a Swiss railroad watch they will be around a lot longer then I will.

I have the round ones and the Beaver dam models and they both catch fish. I typically always use the Beaver Dam ones.

Very well built.

I have some buddies who get laid off in the winter and fish every day from a permanent ice shack. All of them use Beaver Dams. Some try to buy something else but eventually they migrate to Beaver Dams. You just can't beat their durability. They can take being froze in, chiseled out, and bounced around. I've seen a lot of other plastic tips come out in pieces in similiar conditions.
