Anyone who fishes the rivers knows the current will make you change your weight to get to the bottom. With our system you just move forward or back in the Patented Fulcrum Slot. And you can change weight or jigs without worrying about your system loosing it's balance. The other big advantages we have over the fixed balance type of Tip Dow
Anyone who fishes the rivers knows the current will make you change your weight to get to the bottom. With our system you just move forward or back in the Patented Fulcrum Slot. And you can change weight or jigs without worrying about your system loosing it's balance. The other big advantages we have over the fixed balance type of Tip Down is the fact you use a standard ice rod and reel. and we keep our standard height knee high. this keeps line bow to a minimum line bow will lose more fish than anything those fish will have your bait gone before you know it and you'll be fishing with a bare hook. Most of my customers say this is why they switched to my products from home built and the tall PVC tube type tip downs.

The standard Tip Drop is great for everything from Panfish to Pike. The Notched Slot Tip Drop gives you the control of your balance point and works in higher winds where the standard Tip Drop might give you false flags. The Notched Slot kit comes with a 6" extension for the longer rods for pike over 28". Both products will move your bait
The standard Tip Drop is great for everything from Panfish to Pike. The Notched Slot Tip Drop gives you the control of your balance point and works in higher winds where the standard Tip Drop might give you false flags. The Notched Slot kit comes with a 6" extension for the longer rods for pike over 28". Both products will move your bait in the wind as the flag waves, this comes in very handy where live minnows are not legal and with plastics.
The 2 Speed Powered Tip Down works as a Tip Down should with a smooth tipping action all the way down until the fish hits the drag setting at which point the fish is hooked. Plus it has a two speeds that can't be beat for the constant action of jigging these work for every type of fish these can be used year round however you have to balance the rod handle with weights

In 2009 I came up with an Idea after buying some Chinese junk that didn't do it's job jigging my line, so I busted it took the motor out of it and built a prototype out of a 2X4 and some plastic 90 degree angle from work the first fish I caught was a bass man I just watched it jumping around on the ice , It was a different deal then wit
In 2009 I came up with an Idea after buying some Chinese junk that didn't do it's job jigging my line, so I busted it took the motor out of it and built a prototype out of a 2X4 and some plastic 90 degree angle from work the first fish I caught was a bass man I just watched it jumping around on the ice , It was a different deal then with a rubber band actually fighting the fish. We laughed as it fought the fish and the idea had to go forward from there.I received my first patent in 2012 on the Powered Jigging Tip Down. Since then I have made improvements every year to this years model with the hole light and signal flag lights

How it started
After the Powered one was in it's first production people wanted a Tip Down that could use a standard spinning reel, so this is how these got started there were a few items out there but they have a lot of issues with rod security so my first Tip drop featured too much rod security you had to twist and lift and some people didn't like the
After the Powered one was in it's first production people wanted a Tip Down that could use a standard spinning reel, so this is how these got started there were a few items out there but they have a lot of issues with rod security so my first Tip drop featured too much rod security you had to twist and lift and some people didn't like the this. The Fulcrum slot was an awesome feature so I went back to the drawing board and came up with the upside down question mark ¿ this has been very popular the ease of use and the rod security are unmatched. The fun colors have created teams on Facebook these are informative but humorous and are run by customers and Team Green was started by my friend John Lemmer and the rest is history as they say

I use a regular open faced reel with 2-4# pound line and usually a tungsten jig or a small spoon. If there's a slight wind I will put out as much flag that's allowed, I the heavy wind days I will pull it back in. I set with the wind on heavy days and cross wind for action on light wind days. Always play the wind for jigging applications.

For Crappie, Perch, White Bass, Bluegill and Walleye I Start with a 26" ultra-light Fenwick Night Hawk rod with a Pflueger reel that has 4lb mono ice line on it. To start the rig set up I put a slip bobber knot on the line that can be slid up and down that i use as my depth marker. I've been using 1/12 oz. cast masters and or Swedish pimples tipped with a rose red minnow behind the dorsal fin or only the head. Depending on how aggressive the fish are. I will also tip them with spikes or waxies. I put a small split shot sinker 9" above the spoon. I use my locator to set the spoon 9" off the structure I'm fishing. I put the slip bobber knot at the tip of the rod so after I catch a fish I just drop the line back down to the knot and have my lure at the exact same depth. Once the rod is ready to set in my STD I loosen the drag so when I get a hit the rod goes down the flag goes up and the fish can take line. To set the hook I pull some line out and remove the rod from the STD. I then tighten the drag reel up any slack and set the hook. Reel up the fish and repeat often (hopefully).

For crappie and perch, I prefer using a 24" light action rod, spooled with 4lb mono. I use a size 16 treble hook with small fathead minnows hooked just through the skin in front or underneath the dorsal fin. I also place a bb size split shot about 5 or 6" above the treble hook. If it is really cold out, and the holes are freezing fast, I put a ice stopper bobber on the line as well. The bobber will freeze to the hole, but the solution inside the bobber will allow your line to move up and down freely. I use rubber bobber stops on all of my tip drop rods. When I find the depth I want to fish, I slide the bobber stop so it sits at the water level. This way I can consistantly bring my bait to the same depth fish after fish. If I am using a ice stopper bobber, I place the bobber stopper in between the reel and the first eyelet, so it does not hit the ice stopper bobber. For perch, I put my minnow about 12" off the bottom. For crappie, I will do 12" off the bottom all the way up to just under the ice. Put your bait at different depths so you can figure out where in the water column the fish are.

Lake trout and pike I use a 40" custom Thorne Brothers rod with a akuma avenger baitfeeder reel. 15lb braid with a 5ft 20lb floro leader. Lakers just off the bottom pike usually about 5ft up depending depth of the water. I set the baitfeeder drag just enough to give it some tension to pull the rod down the slot of the std. Then have reel drag set kinda heavy for a good hook set on the lakers then dial it down from there to let it wear itself out. Don't forget to hit the go pro button once not twice messed up what would have been a great video for the fish in the pic.

Targeting pike with the Tip Drop is the best way to fish with dead bait the flag causes the the bait to move with the wind and the pike hammer the bait.
