Using Innovative Tip-Downs with Large Minnows or Heavier Weights
Adding Weight to your Tip-Down Rod There may be times when you have to make adjustments to your rod balance. You may want to use larger minnows or you may be fishing in deep water where a heavier sinker is preferred. The more weight you add to the bottom of the line, the more easily the tip-down will tip-over, which may cause false alarms.

We have created a simple solution to this problem. On the back-end of your tip-down rod is a plastic cap that easily pulls off. The cap covers a hollow tube where you can add weight.

Simply remove the cap, pop a couple of split shot sinkers in to the hollow tube, and slide the plastic cap back on to the rod. This will increase the weight on the back-end of your rod and make it possible to use heavier set-ups with the tip-down still tipping over with the same ease as a rod that is not weighted.

Try one or two sinkers at a time. Add as many as you like until the rod balances properly. The hollow tube is 1 1/4" long and 1/2" in diameter making it capable of handling large weights including small bell and slip sinkers.

Please also note that this little compartment in a great place to keep your hooks and sinkers to avoid unnecessary trips back to the shanty.
