How to Make Homemade Ice Fishing Tip-Ups

Instructions

1

Make a cross. Place the center of the thick dowel across the thin dowel at a point approximately 4 inches from the end.

2

Wrap the fishing line around the dowel and then tie a knot to keep the dowels together.

3

Tie the strip of cloth to the long end of the 1/4-inch dowel with fishing line.

4

Attach the line to the short end of the 1/4-inch dowel.

5

Tug the line to make sure the dowel tips up and raises the flag.
