Added a back plate and mark for the 10 inch crappy and put a copper pipe saddle on the back for needle nose pliers on each one

I will add that very few people use tip ups here and tip downs account for 95 percent of our fish I only use a few my friend sets out every one he legally can I have seen him run all day chasing them

They also work with the older style tip down rods but I prefer the ability to fight a fish with a reel with drag
