excuse my typing guys, my right hand got severed at work yesterday.

thanks chesters! i was looking under the wrong names untill budgie set me on the right track. when fishing through the ice you have to make sure you detect the very light bites which are more comon than most people realise over here in canada.most guys only strike when they get a tug on the line! i see guys all the time missing bites when the fish are biting real light or even lifting the bait. interchangeable quiver tips are possibly a natural progression for ice rods. i want to make a couple to see how this technology fairs in the ice fishing world. i think it could be deadly for all speciese but especially for pan fish,perch, trout, whitefish and neutral behaving walleye and burbot.

Budgie, i got hooked into ice fishing when i went out on my first trip. I was lying belly down on the ice with my face over the hole in about 8 or so feet of super clear water over the top of a 3foot high weed bed jigging for pike.

A good size pike came swimming right under my face finning and waiting to strike my bait. when it pounced i jumped out of my skin and set the hook in the process of my jumping,lol. it was like fishing in a really big fish tank. i have had the ice fishing bug ever since. i hope you get to experience it one day.

im not quite sure what your after but i have a couple of old rods which have screw in quiver tips is it the whole top section you want to add too a rod????

yes that would be perfect, if you could find out what shipping is i would be happy to buy them from you if you are willing. thanks! an ice rod is basically the top section of a rod with a handle attatched where the bottom section would normally be joined at the ferrule. i just need ones with the quiver tips attatched too.

If you're building the rod, why not splice the quiver tip in ?

would it still be interchangeable for different test curves if i did that?

[Ken L]

No.

So a handle/base piece and multiple weights of tip you can screw in.

[saskcarp]

No.

i want to have that option.

yep. i have times where walleye are biting real light and they want something small. so i use a panfish rod to balance my tackle but when you strike that hard mouth with such a bendy sensitive rod, you often miss fish or lose them shortly after because the rod isn't stiff enough to set that hook right.

Are you serious, or is that some sort of Canadian joke?

i was referring to not using caps for my I's etc.. it's too bloody hard with my left hand, or i'm too lazy. signing for my credit card, wiping my rear end, driving, changing nappies and certain personal alone moments are quite difficult.
