ABSTRACT:
The combination of a tip-up and cover for a hole drilled through the ice for ice fishing which substantially insulates the hole to prevent ice accumulation and which, upon a fish striking the bait, provides a connective, releasable attachment to an alerting device such as a flag or other indicator. The unit consists of a hole cover of an insulating material of a size and configuration to be placed over a hole drilled through the ice with a signal or alerting device arranged on the upper surface thereof. The alerting device is removably attached to the cover and includes an actuating rod extending below the surface of the water to a line reel or spool which, upon rotation of the reel, due to a fish striking the bait, causes rotation of the rod and subsequent release of the alerting element. This signaling or alerting device includes a spring loaded flag which is captured and set when the bait is placed into the water and upon rotation of the reel releases the flag to signal that a fish is on the line.
