Muskieman Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 I made another door stop tip up .. using a door stop spring... it's nothing new.. everyone has one.. I put a real reel on mine and kinda made a deluxe version.. But they are DEAD lines ... barely move with the strongest wind.. I tried something .. well It works. I heated up a CD with a lighter and bent it with some pliers and wedged it into the spring. <embed width="600" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" allowNetworking="all" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf" flashvars="file=http%3A%2F%2Fvid183.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fx268%2Fsuran_photos%2FPicture.mp4"> Randy
Nipfisher Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 I hope that wasn't my Mini-Pops cd that I loaned you? That's a big reel Randy. I use the fly reels or a vheep verision of a mooching reel made out of polymer (plastic). You'll see them in action next Saturday.
GBW Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 i sure hope those sounds wern't coming out your backside! now to just find and old reel and my daughters Miley cd...
Leecher Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Great work Randy Looks real sensitive in that video The "RFS Production" unique spring loaded tipup deluxe model Leechman
Sinker Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Now, that is better than any expensive ice rod I've seen Randy! I bet you don't need a strike indicator on it either Your a freakin genius!! S.
vinnimon Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Great job Randy Just steer clear of it, if a monster breaks off
Muskieman Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Posted January 30, 2011 I was out for 1 hour today and caught NOTHING!!! The wind was gusting and my CONTRAPTION DOES NOT WORK!! I rotated it from side to side of my hole to "Catch Wind" it still didn't work... every now and then a "Flip-A-Shack" gust would come along and knock the whole thing over.. never mind "Auto Jiggin'" It looked good in my "Man Cave" and seemed to work on my deck, but when the lure is submerged with a minnow things are totally different. Back to the drawing board... next is a Large Tupperware lid... PS* don't tell my wife I'm cutting up her Tupperware. Randy
Leecher Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Sorry to hear that your invention did not work as you had expected Randy.... I'm surprise too In the vid, it looked like the perfect setup Good luck with your next attempt Leechman
