Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Attention ice fishers. Introducing the redneck icefisher

Decided to come up with a little project for the kids in hopes of them getting off the tv and Xbox. Incentive was all the profits go into their savings account.

For you ice fishers I'm sure you've seen similar products on the market( jawjacker and automatic fisherman ) this is a pretty simple and effective way to fish. Basically you put your rod in the holder, preload the rod with the supplied trigger set which is set off when a fish bites in turn setting the hook.
Here are a couple pics of a finished product.

The commercial versions of these sell for $40 plus tax. I have been using a couple home built ones the past couple weeks and they work just as good. I have been very impressed with them. The legs do come out for easy and compact storage.
We can paint them whatever color you would like. I think $22 shipped would be a fair asking price. Let me know what you guys think.

Sounds like a good price to me...

Just as a winter project I built this for my buddies 3 year old daughter.

She called it her "Chicken Fishin' Rod"
