after looking at your photo link, I would say first what a neet contraption...
I am sure it will catch fish the same as any other tipup, I coment the angler who divised the contraption.
with this said let me go on to say that you would do well to not spend your monie on it.. {unless you want a conversation peice for the shantie}
from this disign let me just say I see pleanty of opertunity for loosing a fish. [ol] [ol] [li]if the box sicks to the hold you will have problems[/li] [li]lighting the candle and keeping it lit in a wind proof box will sufficate from the lack of air[/li] [li]the spool is above the so when the candle goes out the ice will freeze around the line. you will never know if you have a bite or not....[/li][/ol][/ol]
should I go on?
dont get me wrong in ideal conditions this will work, just not for every day use on the lake...
