Ice combos and Frabill lighted tip up….

Hi all,

Well, turns out our ice fishing gear has either been misplaced or stolen … and I’m guessing misplaced is more likely as I haven’t been able to get to the cabin to look for it yet (due to the flu). So just in case I’m going to get a new combo and tip up for the weekend.

Any ideas on places in the metro that have good deals on combos right now? I’m looking for something under $40 and I like a medium heavy setup – don’t like wimpy rods … need a little backbone for my Mille Lacs walleyes and jumbos!

Also, has anybody used the Frabill tipups with the built-in light indicator? I’ve always attached the flashing alarm to my old tip ups and those work great. Wondering if this light on the round insulated Frabill tip up works well or not.

Thanks!!!

Check out the new Bro series rods they should be around $35 (at least at Sportsman’s they are.) or a St.Croix combo is about the same price but the reel isn’t quite has nice. Both rods in a Medium have alot of back bone. Has far has the tip up goes, the lighted one works great, but I prefer the siren/light combo… it just adds to the excitement.
Have fun getting some new gear!!!
