ABSTRACT:
An ice fishing tip-up system includes a rod, a fishing line, a bobber stop coupled to the fishing line, and a tip-up device. The tip-up device includes a base, an arm extending from the base, a lever supporting a line-engaging end having a set slot through which the line will pass, but not the bobber stop, and a flag attached through a resilient wire to the base. Distal to the line-engaging end is a trip end. The resilient wire applies a spring force to the trip end of the lever, the effect of which is variable depending upon the distance between the wire point of contact of to lever and the lever pivot point. A base serves to support the lever, insulate the ice hole to prevent the hole from freezing shut, and provides a selectively opened slot for separating the base from fishing line.
