Automatic hook setter for ice fishing!

in Build-It4 years ago

Good afternoon guys and gals. I have another fun DIY project for all you ice fisherman/woman. This is one of the better designs I've come up with. This now my 3rd version. It's packable, it's light, it's sensitive to the light bite. It really didn't take me too long to throw together and it was really cheap which is a bonus. Commercially manufactured Jaw jackers sell for around 50$ CDN here. Any thing I can create to make my hunting fishing experience better is always a good thing. Hope you guys enjoy!

It's been a long time since I've gone ice fishing. as I've gotten older, I've gotten more sensitive to the cold.
That's a pretty clever idea for setting the hook!

Yeah it works great. Here in Manitoba we can have 2 lines. so one in the auto fisher the other jigging
