DIY Ice Fishing Tip-Up RIG
Вставка

- Want to build your own tip-up fishing rig? This simple project will cost you less than 15$ to make and about 45 minutes of your time.
This tip up rig is perfect for the casual or hardcore fisherman. With this set up, you will be able to easily see if you have a bite!!! If you got multiple rigs set up, you will be able to glance over and see if the flag has popped up... If it has, then you know you got a bite!
This is also great if you just want to hang out on the ice and not have to hold the rod the entire time you're out there... Ice fishing has never been so easy!!
PS: make sure the reel is in the open position so that if you have a bite you don't lose your rod... it is meant to free spool until you grab your rod and take action!
THINGS YOU WILL NEED!!!!
To make this tip up fishing rig you will need the following: a piece of 2x6 lumber, a spring door stop, a metal rod, a wood rod, a piece of pipe, some 2 part epoxy, some type of fabric and a couple basic wood working tools.

Have any of you tried this type of setup? If so how'd you like it?
Very similar to the ice riggers that HT now makes, but homemade, I like it! I met the guy who got the patent on the ice rigger about 15 years ago. the one problem I've had with this type of setup is occasionally the line doesn't slip out of the clip. I've found if you put a little piece of masking tape over the tubes that it slides off easier.
Nice! Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the video!! Great tutorial. Definitely gonna make a few of these.
2x6 😀
Watching you use that saw was scary
Omg, that was insanely risky
Thats awesome man !
xseedlingx thanks buddy!
Thats Awsome !!!!!!!
Thanks man!
It seems to be very sensitive so if you are using bigger bait it might go off a lot but outher than that great idea
Andrew Goman yeah I forgot to mention that you can use o rings to make it less touchy
One improvement I can suggest. Get those little clip on bells and clip it or glue it onto the flag metal pole just below flag. When a fish triggers yhe flag that bell will ring as flag pole waves. You get a visual and hearing triggr.Great if sitting in a ice tent or low light or dark. You'll hear the flag trigger.

Good idea! Definitely an add on I'm going to make!
If you want it to be less touchy you could cut the notch on for the trigger on the opposite side of the slanted piece on the dowel so that it has to turn 180 degrees instead of just a tiny pull. Hopefully that made sense.
I just added a rubber o ring between the pins on the other side 😋 but your idea works too!
Trying it now
Good luck haha let me know if you got any questions about it.
cool
Nice job man. When you set your rod in there do you leave bail open or just set drag next to nothing ? Great project. Going to make maybe 2 of them.
Leave it open lol or you'll lose the rod
Nice design, one question... how much pull (from a fish) does it take to release the flag?
I know that aligator clips hold pretty tight.
Lol well I put small clear hose on the alligator clip so it doesn't wreck the line.. but i got it right on the edge of the clip so it comes out with a little tug, just enough to set the flag off.
But if you find it turns too easy, what I did I just twisted a rubber band a bunch of times between kabob pin and the block the dowel goes through
Have you had any issues with durability, with everything being held together solely by epoxy???
Nope! Everything has been holding up... but if you wanted the extra durability incase you drop it or something, you could for sure add screws.
I was thinking same thing why not a few screws? im still gonna make with screws thanks
@@ThePioneerChannel
@@photofather1 😋 screws wouldn't hurt... but don't underestimate the strength of glues and epoxy.. I watched a video a while ago where they test the strength of wood glues and epoxy and in almost every glue they tested the wood broke before it became unglued
How long is the base, the board?
I don't have it with me... but I think it was around 14 to 16 inches. But you can make it longer or shorter for your rod length. .
How is the hookup ratio with this rig? Have you ever used it for Northerns?
What do you mean for northerns? And it works good lol I'm not sure what the ratio is though..
I made mine a few years ago and have caught several northern pike on them but I did use screws and bent the flag pole into a small u then inserted into spring from bottom no glue on any of it.
First ice fisherman to not know what a northern is? LMAO
This looks pretty interesting I just didn’t know understand The wooden dowel how are you carved it cut it out 45° and a little slot how does that hold the flag ... How does it make the flag go up just because of a 45° cut
Because there's a little notch there and when it turns it slides up the 45 and spring's upwards.. without it the flag would just stay stuck under the dowel
@@ThePioneerChannel I got it I made one last night and I didn’t have no string on it but I just turned the dowel and boom fact right up
@@ThePioneerChannel I would like to send you the video but for some reason I can’t send a video on here
@@scottjkern if you have Facebook, I have a Facebook page.. should be in the description! You can post it on there Haha I'll check it out for sure 😋
@@ThePioneerChannel I can’t find it. Pioneer channel
Great vid, sorry to be picky but those are 1 x 6 not 2 x 6
Lol could be, I just grabbed a piece of left over composite decking material off my uncle and he had 2x6 also but I grabbed the composite as they looked the same size.
Well if we're gonna be picky, it's actually 5/4 not 1 x 6. ;)
@@roadhouse8604 guys, just cut a piece from a wood pallet and spray paint it black.
using the alligator clip would snap your line.... usually when ice fishing you are using much less poundage of line. this clip is going to break your line. why didn't you just make a rod that the line goes around and make a small loop in the line. when pulled, the line slips right off but still activates the flag....
If you watched the video, you'd know I put 1/8 th inch tubing over top the alligator clip teeth to not damage the line
Hes saying the clip holds the line too tight and unless you have a big fish hit, the line may not release. Im actually in the process of building a couple of these but I am stuck at this exact point. Pike arent very big in my area and I cant seem to find a clip that works. The loop thing could work though.
@@derekshaw6680 with the 1/8 th inch hose that goes over top the clip teeth, make it a little longer and pinch it near the end or a little past the clip between the hose and it should slip out easier
Looks like a copycat of the one made by HT Enterprise. They do work well if the line comes off the spool freely.
Kent Brauer not sure if I've seen those ones! But they definitely are nice!
Ice rigger rod tender. Gary Coulman. Good luck if its cold out.
Lol "I'm not sure if I've seen those ones"
Sure ya haven't!!?? It's an exact replica of the ht ice rigger. You could have suggested it was a fun diy copy but to take credit for this design is sad!
Get a real job
What's your issue? Lol plus I do have a real job.. I'm a journeyman plumber and journeyman gasfitter.
