A tip-up is a device used while ice fishing to suspend live or frozen bait at a set depth through a hole drilled in the ice with an auger, and detect when a fish strikes, without having to be in contact with this piece of gear.

In contrast to fast tapers, the slow flex rods offer the angler advantages when fighting large fish with light fishing line. This ...
