wooden tip ups that look like a rifle or shotgun

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

did you google it, or search other fishing sites?... I'm sure if you google it, you will find all kinds of plans that fit the bill. give it a try.

Here is a good one, not a shotgun but a good one nonetheless

You've gotta cut em yourself. Thats the style we used when we were kids, a jig saw and lots of time is all you need. Now, I'd way rather use dowling and screw on a cheap rattle reel for tip ups. The long length allows the fish more movement until it feels weight, and the reel stops the pike from pulling your tip ups down the hole.

I liked the look of the gun stock ones but, the door stopper and dowel looks like it may be a winner with alll ages,. Thanks for the help. Al
