me and some people from work have been trying to find a tip-up that has the rod with it. we sow one last year that set the hook when the fish took it but have not been able to find it.

has anyone ever used one of these tip-ups with the rod and can you help me find a good one.

I think it would be alot more fun to reel in the northern then have to hand over hand!

we hope you can help thanks

There are a couple different models out there that hold a rod, but don't set the hook. Of course I can't remember the name of either of them right now.

I have to agree. That was the reason I wanted to try one.

That is the key phrase that make what you have legal.

If you are fishing with anything remotely like the image below, this is illegal in the state of Minnesota. The DNR considers the use of a device like this as a form of impaling a fish, which is illegal to do in the state of MN. I had a co-worker who bought like 6 of these things this last fall for his family off of e-bay. They are like $30-$40 each. He is out a lot of ching. The question he had the other day was could he use them if the rod was not set in the ready position, at least use them as fancy rod holders. We will call DNR once again. grin.gif

If you have any question on what you are using, please call the MN DNR office.

Are you talking about the arctic fisherman from Clam?

That was one of them. I looked at these last year and wasn't impressed.

There is another brand that I could only get by ordering through they're web site. I really liked them, in fact I sent them an email inquiring whether a bait caster would work because all the tip ups they showed on the site had spinning reels in them.

I'm having a brain fart.crazy.gif

Bingo. It turns any rod/reel into a tip-up that you can jig. Great product. I'd post a link but for some reason that is not encouraged here.

shack, that is not what I was talking about, looks like you need an engineering (non choo-choo) degree to make that other one work. The arctic fisherman works really well, but you have to tend the hole and make sure it doesn't freeze shut on you....

I figured as such, when you said "you set the hook". But, I think you answered a question people have been asking for a couple months now. That question has been brought about where one could get a tip-up with a rod and reel on it and it still would be legal in MN.

I figure a post like this is a good thing this time of year. With all the internet shopping that goes on now and the big box stores carrying the same things from state to state, you never know what you get at Christmas that could be illegal. I can picture Grandma searching the internet for the latest and great’s new fishing item for JR... Buying it, wrapping it and giving it to him on Christmas. Then JR. uses this new thing from grandma on a Metro lake during New Years weekend and gets a hefty fine and a ticket from local DNR/CO.

I wonder how many Automatic fisherman where under the tree in MN this year and I wonder how many will be used this weekend on MN lakes smirk.gif?

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
