They are a great tip up and are tough enough to last for generation.

Very helpful. I definitely need to switch to smaller hooks and to fluorocarbon leaders instead of the short cable leaders I have been using for Northern. Very helpful on minnow selection too!

I have X shaped tip-ups and a Mora drill that were my dad's so almost as old as me (61). You gave me some good ideas to upgrade some things as long as it is cheap! We had ZERO ice fishing here in PA last year, hoping for ice this year, still not looking good...

Really like my Beaver Dam tip up. Would like some advice reeling up the small spool which gets mighty cold on your fingers. Thanks
@calebwistad7 ай бұрын
I always spin the T handle with one hand while I put slight tension on the line with my other hand and hold the tip up between my knees.

Caleb, thank you for the excellent lessons. I wish I had seen this video 25 years ago when I first began ice fishing! I started using smaller trebles a couple of years ago and agree that they are the way to go. I appreciate your tips on using minnows. I'm going to look at getting myself a Clam Predator tip up and appropriate rod and reel. Are you parents C and T? If so, it is a small world! I also might have seen your truck at a parking lot this afternoon. I hope to meet you on the ice someday. Thanks again for the great lessons. I'm sharing your link with several friends.

Good thorough vid. Interested in the clam predator but have some questions. What length rod and action? Mainly panfish and eater walkeyes. Also is there a led indicator option for the flag for low light conditions? Thanks
@calebwistad7 ай бұрын
Fiberglass rods from 34” to 40” are ideal. Something slow to moderate action that bends throughout the blank is best. You can use any tip up light or indicator that clips on a tip up flag.
@pete56597 ай бұрын
For the predator tip ups you mentioned a full fiberglass rod that bends over the entire blank with a good back bone, what length rod is suggested?
@calebwistad7 ай бұрын
I recommend a rod between 32” and 36” but up to over 40” will work. I just wouldn’t go much shorter than 32”
@user-ok6fq5np9e7 ай бұрын
I've had a hard time finding a fiberglass rod for my predator does clam make one? what length weight is best and were can I get one.
@calebwistad7 ай бұрын
Clam has the Voltage combo. That’s the only one (so far, but stay tuned) a lot of people have been buying the Ugly Stik dock runners. They work great but the reel is sort of a throwaway reel. amzn.to/3O1EnhB

Good info, especially about the bait nuances. Today I went looking for ice and could not find it. Disappointing.

Thanks! Yeah, we checked 4 lakes before we found a fishable one today.
