ABSTRACT:
A combination summer-and-winter tip-up fishing rig is provided which may be used on the ice in winter weather and on open water in summer weather. The rig has an inverted dish-like body of light weight insulating and floating material, a flagpole, a spring means on said body at one edge thereof urging the flagpole to an upright position. The body has a top deck and a perimeter side wall extending down from the top deck, to form a hollow interior, divided by walls into a large cavity and a small cavity. A fishline reel spool is rotatably mounted in the large cavity with its vertical shaft extending through the top deck. The shaft has a horizontal arm above the deck which extends over the flagpole to hold the flagpole nearly horizontal in the fishing mode, and which turns to release the flagpole to the upright tipped-up mode when a fish strikes. A cotter pin may be swivel-mounted to the underside of the top deck centrally thereof extending down therefrom. An eye bolt may be mounted to the underside of the top deck intermediate the reel spool and the cotter pin. A fishline coiled about the reel spool may be, for smaller fish, fed through the eye bolt and then down into the water. For larger fish, the line is set into the cotter pin grip to extend therefrom down into the water.
