We also sell just the frames or a complete Tip Down with the pole if anyone is interested. I guess I should of patented the idea and sold them commercially but I just like to fish and help anyone out that I can.
Some of you guys may know me as Crappieguy on Lake-Link.com
I moved to Eau Claire 7 years ago and no one in Western WI had heard of Tip Downs. The guys fishing on Lake Altoona saw me using them and how I was out fishing them 4 or 5 to 1. 2 years ago fishing late ice by myself with 3 Tip Downs I caught and released 67 Crappies in just over 2 hours. What a blast that morning was.
Now there are all kinds of people using them in Western WI. We used Tip Downs years ago in Eastern WI after seeing an old timer use a very basic type about 20 or so years ago. Since then we have made many different designs until we came up with this one about 10 years ago.
