Auto Setting Jig Pole Tip-Up

This thing is once again intended for ice fishing. The assembly is completed with a 1 1/2" X 24" PVC tubing and the 'Reel Seat' is adjustable lengthwise. I also used some bamboo skewers to complete the trigger mechanism but it could also be accomplished by other means. Once assembled, just put bait on the hook of a jig pole and lower the bait to the desired depth. then place the reel in the 'Reel Seat,' put the pin on the trigger in the end eye guide and drape the line over the end of the trigger (see pictures). I'll more than likely be making some changes soon but it will work fine for now. I'll be getting to test next week and will update with any pictures. Please post all makes and anything that you may catch with the mechanism. Good luck!
