Built for ice anglers who want a dependable tip-up setup, this limited-edition design pairs a full-can Busch Light theme with Beaver Dam’s Smooth-Spool Technology and Freezeproof Grease. It is intended for cold-weather fishing where visibility, stable operation, and easy line handling matter. The highly visible flag and wind-resistant design support use on the ice, while adjustable line tension adds flexibility for different fish sizes.
