| Steve I don't happen to have any of the round ones - info I've got on those
is that when the plastic gets cold - they break - espec. if they
freeze in to the slush and you have to kick them out. I have Arctic Fisherman (wood) and a HT Polar (plastic). Both have
stood up well. If you really want to cover the hole to try and prevent
it from freezing up, get a scrap of carpet and cut a slot in it for
your tip up's shaft and spool. A tip up style I don't have, but want to get is a windlass style - but
unless you have an above freezing day, eventually they freeze up -
although the carpet trick would help alot..... Jim On Fri, 03 Dec 2004 03:29:27 GMT, "Steve" <steve_doire@hotmail.com> |
