    Does anyone know if a tip down exists that would work with a spinning rod?

    Things like arctic warriors are designed for exactly that… Fish hits, it tips down, the flag goes up, and it allows the fish to take the line on free spool… Then you can get to the rod, flip the bail set the hook and fight the fish on spinning tackle (vs hand to hand combat)

    Love my arctic warriors, both in and out of the shack for deadstick applications!!!

    The ones designed for spinning reels are not a real tip down, the rod does not tip as much and free fall tike a true tip down. I prefer the cheap rods and home made wooden frames for panfish. The other ones with spinning reels work well for game fish
