How to TEXAS RIG for beginners PLUS big tip for intermediate anglers
Mine’s similar but uses receiver hitch pins and reaches above the tailgate from the OEM Ford receiver. I’ve hauled 20 foot rebar supported by a closed 40 foot ladder with an 8 foot bed. They do compromise angle of departure so be careful backing off a ramp. I had to drill a weep hole near the elbow because stood up against a tree ice bulged the square tube a little. By notching one end of the Tee I’m able to hitch pin the L inside the Tee for transport
Great video! I currently have the Evolution 3600 series backpack but I don't love it. Thinking about switching to this Plano instead. Are your soft plastics just stored in ziplock bags?
Good thing is that the adapter is sold at there too! LOL But that adapter has a lot of usage! It allows you to tow something, and still put a carrier for a large ice chest!
I'm shocked its still the same price
Your clutch bro. Needed those measurements!
There is a better way. If your ice auger is 8" in diameter cut out two 1/2" x 8" diameter pieces of foam, these will get glued together to form a piece 1" thick. Then cut out two 1/2" x 12" diameter pieces of foam and again glue them together to be 1" thick, then you are going to center the 1" x 8" on the 1" x 12" piece and glue them together. This will allow the smaller diameter of the foam cover to fit snuggly inside the hole in the ice(clear all snow away from around the hole) and the 1" x 12" will sit on the ice surface for the ultimate ZERO freeze protection even in Alaska's Arctic temperatures. Do not forget to cut a slit in the foam and a tiny central hole for the tip up to pass through. You could also make the foam slightly oversized for the hole say 8.5" in diameter and glue 4 circle together for 2" thick piece of foam then wedge the foam plug down into the hole in the ice for a tight seal as the foam is slightly oversized and being wedge in will keep it from lifting up from buoyancy.
Good points . Thx
Loved the mention of SF and Duluth! I’ve always felt that the two are so similar yet each in such separate different worlds! Nice to hear of another person who knows about both places and also an outdoors rig/equipment review as well!
Biggest fish I caught on a tip up was my largest fish still. 8.5lb walleye when I was about 6. It won a fishing derby that still happens every year. Highlight of my fishing life, I remember it was cold lol...
Flouro over steel everyday. Northerns are visual hunters and the easiest way to get less flags is to use a wire leader.
His hitch must be lower than mine, because with the adjustments holes I can set mine level with the bed. Also, the length of the extender is the maximum allowed by law. FYI
Thanks. Good idea!
I also have a tundra and when I added to the trailer hitch and see how low compared the tailgate was crazy. Did anyone add any wood to theirs to raise it up?

TO STOP FOULING LIKE THAT PUT A SWIVEL A COUPLE FEET UP AND TIE I 20 POUND XT OR FLOURO, THE STIFFER LINE STOPS FOULING,,,, WORKS
Bought this to flip with the long edge up to carry a long kayak on my soft top Jeep Wrangler. Didn't even unbox it, went straight to store and bought my kayak. Was a little fun loading when I unboxed and saw the pin on the short side was only around a quarter inch thick and not going to accept a hitch pin. I only needed to go 5 miles so I figured out a temp way to get it home and then proceeded to drill the holes on the short side out to be able to accept a full size hitch pin.
I sure will try that.. I have the lews Mach 2 bait caster and I’m using 30 lb braid and it keeps happening and I’m so frustrated
Menards has a better one for 88$. Also take note he said 46” between tie downs. (Hint: plywood, drywall…etc)
Thanks!
Do you have a link? Perhaps Menard's no longer carries it?
Thanks for the tip. I use the kneel pad for gardening. Works great also. They are 1.5 inches thick, got them on sale for $4
I want to solder all of my tip ups. I absolutely hate when the braid unspools itself. I tried soldering mine but the shaft is not accepting the solder. What is the trick? Did you have to sand the chrome off of the shaft or anything prior to soldering? Did you disassemble the shaft to solder or can you do it with it assembled. Any help is appreciated. I think it would be a cool How-To video if you ever have the time.
This is probably one of the most helpful video for targeting big pike!
I take my insulator pads and toss a little snow over them and hot glued a chunk of velcro to the underside with 2 hot hands hand warmers under it. It stays ice free down into -20s
This is my favourite ice jigging lure and I also had several Jigging Rap with broken tails. I had solve this problem with adding a little bid of lurex instead of plastic tail. The length of lurex should be +\- as a length of plastic tail. And it works perfect!
Mine got shredded .it froze into the sides of the hole. And it came out in chunks in my ice castle
I'm a wicked experienced ice angler I've caught several 36-38 and one 40 I've even gotten a 54 inch musky open water. I enjoyed your video. You gave me some confidence for tomorrow my first day targetting pike I took a whole year off for salmon & trout. I'm confident I'm going to topside a giant with that hook set advice I always let them run with it they spit often too. Here we cannot even use dead alewive because it's so invasive they're super protective of the Adirondacks in NY
Ok to point out the flaws , but solutions should be part of your video.
Epoxy the tails, it eliminates lost tails entirely. I once lost 9 tails in a span of an hour or two . I was so mad i emailed Rapala from the middle of the lake I was on. I take a toothpick and 5-minute two part epoxy and glue the underside of the tails and make sure your slurry covers the hook on the underside of the tails. No more problems. Note - the flat rap has the same problem.
❤
I liked ,commented and waited until the video ended to sub should be #702 if bits sticks great advice caught some monsters in my day
I was just wondering where I could buy alewife from? Thanks for your time
Experienced based logic and reason. People who know how to think and not what to think. Thanks for paying attention to your words and context. Well done.
Dude buy some beaver dam tip ups, it will increase your credibility.
Ht Polar Tipups man. Get with the times boomer
Where can I buy alewifes?
Thanks for a PRIMO 🎉 TUTORIAL !!!! Happy New Year 🎊 2023 ✨🎣💫

You thumbed a goddam northern???
Funny you said "big bait catches big fish".. I agree with that in most cases...but my biggest pike in 40 years of fishing was March 5 2022...it was 51.75 inches long (we have a great vid on you tube)...it was caught on a pickerel rig with 6lb snelled trout hooks tied to 8lb line...baited with a small dead minnow...4 feet of water...33 inches of ice...was interesting (can you say Murphy's law)...we landed it though...caught in a canadian rockies lake in alberta... Great vid...very informative...going to give your tips a try...keep em coming From my very frozen snowy igloo on the mountain in Canada D 🇨🇦
Yes, the handle would be better on the left side.
2022 Toyota Tacoma, extender height not even close to sufficient without modifications. $79.99. Nov 2022
Does rapala quarantee their products. Or at least repair their jigging raps?
Super glue
I lost a bunch of tails in 20 and 21 theones i purchased the end of 21 have not lost one what ever the problem was i think its been fixed and brother i go thru 25 a year
Flip the kayak upside down placing the kayak’s flat side down against the pool noodles . Is is more secure and the rocking motion is eliminated . Use quality 1” racket straps not Garbage Freight straps .
Great work on the channel! I’ll trade subscriptions with ya! 👍
Just caught my first Muskie off a jigging rap today!
I just got this for my son's truck so he can carry his small crawdad Coleman boat to his ome to work on. Full-watch (twice). Thanks 👍🏽🤠 8/18/22
How do I put a soft plastic on this?
Only video that has actually helped me fix my backlash, thank you!
Excellent idea, thanks for this video, im about to start doing some mods in my kayak so this was one of my concern so i will seal all my hatch like you did.
