[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 145666, member: 983"] Over the years I have slowly developed a dislike for tipups. I used to have good success with them but it seems like I am catching less fish on them. I'm using Polars and have disassembled, cleaned, and relubed them. They still get too stiff for me in the cold, enough that I think fish are feeling the resistance. I can't get the things to work that well, even new ones. Plus, I hate reeling them up in the cold. I see more and more folks using rod/reel type set lines. I am curious what you have used that you like and has good strike indicator ability. I like the tipup flag for visibility. Something that is a combo of the two would be great. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
