auto hook setter?

[happyfisher]

Ive been trying to find old threads of someone using a ice rod and some contraption that would set the hook...with some wire i thing....and maybe some coat hook wire?

I made one with a rat trap....but i keep catching my fingers.....anyone have a rig they use? From what i recall the bend in the rod would fling back and was on a hair trigger thing....

Any posts with accurate details would be nice....ive been googling with nothing i like.....

Thanks

I think what you're looking for is an automatic fisherman. That design is exactly what I think BeeGuy posted some time ago. I'll try to search and find it, but I never have much luck with that function. haha

made the same sort today, got 2 of my 5 walleye with it. only downside was when it went off and the bobber hit the rod I almost jumped out of my skin! I just put a minnow on the bottom with a splitshot to speed it down a bit quicker and worked like a charm. piece of bent coathanger and a bit of tipup line, cheap like borsht and simple to make

the only one i get is beeguys......lol

i dont know what the bobber is good for....lol

[WayneChristie]

the bobber is supposed to keep the wire from going down the hole if the string comes off. but it makes a good loud alarm too :bad_boys_20: after a few times of slamming into the rod it will probably crack and sink along with the wire :sHa_sarcasticlol:

I just use mine with a wave buster float, just leave a few inches of slack line
