Overview
Built for ice anglers who want a straightforward tip-up setup for winter fishing, this model combines a large-capacity spool with a bait clip feature and dual counterbalance crank knobs. It comes pre-lubed with Frabill’s Sub-Zero winter lubricant, and the removable spool shaft makes cleaning and relubrication easier when maintenance is needed. The hi-visibility neon color helps it stand out on the ice, which is useful when running multiple lines or fishing in low-light conditions.

- The removable spool shaft supports cleaning and relubrication, which adds maintenance steps compared with a more sealed design.
