I got tired of trying to find I Fish Pro’s in stock and in my search I stumbled across the Finicky Fooler Tip-up. It looked simple and similar to what I was hoping to do with the IFISHPRO so I thought I’d give it a shot. Its been great. I don’t need any special bobber stop or line trigger, just my normal hook/line/reel/rod setup and that is it. I’ve been using it for crappies to pike as you can adjust the sensitive of how much force is needed to release the flag.
Just an FYI to anyone else that might be continuously stumped on trying to find an IFISHPRO in stock and want an option to do some more tip-up fishing this season with a rod in hand.
