ABSTRACT:
Readily erectable, operationally reliable, and nestably transportable ice fishing tip-up apparatus includes three structurally interchangeable and uniquely apertured channel members alternatively designatable as alpha-member, beta-member, and gamma-member. The alpha-member and beta-member are adjustably pivotably joined in parallel horizontal planes, and the gamma-member is pivotably joined in an angularly inclinable relationship to the beta-member. An omega-shaped prop member, which is pivotably attached to the beta-member, can engage an underlying stop member of the inclined gamma-member. A fishing line reel is attached in flanking relationship to the gamma-member with an axle that can also function as the stop member. An elongate lever, which medially surrounds a fulcrum terminus of the gamma-member, includes a relatively shorter and slidably weighted leadward-arm that abruptly falls whenever a fish is caught at the fishing line. The elongate lever also includes a relatively lengthier trailward-arm that automatically abruptly raises in signal-like fashion just as a caught fish causes the weighted leadward-arm to abruptly fall.
