C'mon, I had to!

Great idea though. One thing I do with my flags is add a few flyers of black electrical tape to them. I feel like it contrasts much better when there's snow on the ice, easier to spot.

Terminal gear

shown here are a variaty of hooks and use regularly.. note that they are labeled lead free.. I do the majority of my fishing in New Hampshire, whcih has had a ban on lead sinkers for years... also shown is a few things that can make life a little eaiser...one being a clipper with a snarl detangler... Normark made that one.. i've had it for years.. it works great for picking out frozen ( or knots stowed to be dealt with latter) as well as clipping off leader tage ends...I have sets of bells for my tip ups.... I;ll use them whrn I have a lrge spread or I'm fishing with a large group of guy's... the attack eaisily to the flag and leaves no doubt on whos flag just went up.... also with the bells. is a tip up light... these work good for night fishing and one switched on are activated by a mercury switch once the flag goes up...
also pictured is a sounder... these are used to find the bottom.... these weigh over an ounce so are legal by law..
