Round Tip Up bags.


The Yeti

Recommended Posts

Yep I bought one last year at sportsmans warehouse, love it. I can't remember what kind it is, its black I think its a HT. At least I know where they are when I need them and their not piled up in a mess in the corner somewhere. cool.gif

I also use the round bag and it works very well for me. It rides nice in my Otter tub along with my other gear. I put a folded old tee-shirt between each tip-up to take up some slack and also as something to soak up any stray water.

I have seen others use a 5 gallon bucket as well. anything is better then having them laying all over the place.

You should also take a look at ReadyRig's round thermal tip-up bag. It is the only one I know of that has a large accessories pocket sewn onto the outside of it as well as a strip of reflective safety tape for low light conditions. They also make a standard tip-up bag with the same upgraded features.

Sportsman's Guide has a screw top for 5-6 gallon pails that work great for thermal tip-ups. They are called Gamma Seals If you order, get a few. You will love them and won't believe all the uses for them. There aren't many storage containers tougher than a plastic pail. You will need to let your tip-ups dry before you seal and store them or they will rust from the moisture on the spool.

    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
