The SUNFRAN Patent Pending rod holder triples as a tip-up and auto hook-setter with no need to mess with the fishing line. Mounts on a bucket lid, wall of an ice house, or boat rail. Perfect for ice or open-water fishing. It's time to forget tip-ups and tip-downs
Key Features
- Auto Hookset (Built-In): Mechanical trigger sets the hook instantly when a fish strikes.
- Bite Alert (Built-In): It's a tip-up and hook setter in one. Audible click—no clips, no batteries needed.
- No Line Rerouting: Fish with your rod and reel just as you normally would. No messing with the fishing line to set the trigger or flag.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Simply by moving the rod forward or backward
- Bucket-Ready: Mounts on a standard 5-gallon bucket lid, ideal for ice-fishing. Drill a single 1/4 inch hole on the lid, hand tighten with a included bolt, washer and a butterfly nut. Remove the single nut to pack everything in a bucket and go home.
- RV/Ice House/Ice Castle Ready: Full motion adjustable wall/cabinet door mount. Lockable, collapsible, and removable. Mounting hardware sold separately
- Small profile: Can be mounted on a boat like any rod holder, and even on a wall or cabinet door in a ice house or castle using a small / removable TV mount arm for RV. No bulky setup or "jaws" taking your precious space
