World's Best Ice Fishing Tip-up?

Описание: In my opinion this is the world's best tip-up for nearly any species, but I find it works particularly well with finicky winter brook trout. They can be set in such as way as to never miss a bit as the arm tips over and slides the washer down the track.

Best of all the arm stays down, the bait moves freely giving the fish slack, so fish aren't spooked or drop the minnow. When the bolt and washer runs the track, you can often hear it, also with the arm up, the red tape is highly visible even from a great distance against the white snow. In windy conditions, it's easy to set the arm against the wind to keep it from tipping over and on calm days it can be set level so that any touch of the tip-up will set it so you never miss a bite.

Please show your version of this tip-up if you decide to make your own!
