Examining the finer details of tip-up fishing

Tip-ups are a low-tech – but effective – tool for catching pike and walleyes under the ice. What follows are the finer points of these simple setups.
For starters, I like to use modern tip-ups that have an underwater spool and a spindle above water. Nowadays, that’s pretty much a given, but when I started ice fishing, we had those old wooden contraptions with which you had to fold them open to put them on the ice, then bend a spring-steel flag arm around and hook it to the underwater spool.
