Tip-Up Tip-of-the-Week

Hook storage is a pain in the ass on most Tip-Ups, but here’s an idea that works awesome to keep things under wraps

I stole the idea years ago from a company in Maine (after buying some). Super easy to make, just get a roll of Velcro and some grommets.

They work awesome on rattle reels as well, and cover up trebles too!

Jack traps in Maine, best tip ups made.
Those velcro straps work great.

I run mine to the base of the flag and use those little rubber rings they sell. My flouro leaders stay straight and hook is partially hidden under the flag. I cant stand a leader that is all springy after being wrapped on a spool in cold weather.
