HT Enterprises Magnetic Polar "Pop-Up" Tip-Up
with Lighted Tube
The Polar "Pop-Up" tip-up by HT Enterprises has a unique magnetic trip which "pops-up" a lighted strike indicator rather than using a traditional flag.
Features of this popular "tip-up" include:
- Patented freeze proof magnetic trip mechanism
- Since there is no exposed line or trip mechanism, even a 50 mph wind can't trip the POP-UP accidentally because its sturdy 3 point suspension makes it stay put
- Drifting snow simply can't plug the POP-UP'S trip mechanism because of its unique design
- On hard strikes, the spool winder acts as a water brake to keep the spool from over-running and fouling up your line
- The POP-UP'S specially designed spool winder lets you wind up your line easily anytime you want
- Set the "adjustable tension" light for panfish, medium for walleye and heavy in deep water for lake trout and northern pike
- There's no exposed flag to confuse you from a distance and the flag shaft is a bright fluorescent orange so you get a positive signal when a fish strikes
- Lighted flag shaft tube helps to see tip-up during low light and night time fishing
- The easy-to-grip knurled spool lock is designed for adjusting tension and for locking the spool when storing
- The POP-UP is built out of space age plastic to take punishment while it stays lightweight and warm to the touch
- Easy operation - simply unlock the cap, open the legs, unlock the spool and bait up
The unit is 25" in length with the strike indicator down. The spool is 3" in diameter.
This is HT Enterprises Model PP-2L.

We seem to catch more fish using this tip-up.Had one that had a slight leak so I sealed them all with a hot glue gun.I got 2 more and the new ones are 1 piece now so that should eliminate problems.

Extremely Disappointed in Minnesota

I recently purchased two of your Polar Pop-Up magnetic tip-ups online. I have two of these that I have used for over twenty-five years and have had no problems, except the magnets are getting weak.
I used the first one right out of the package today - after set up, and because it was -10 today, I went to make sure my bait wasn't in the weeds and to clear the hole of ice. When I checked to make sure it was unlocked and the flag would pop up, nothing happened! When I tried pulling up on the shaft, it pulled right out of the magnet! Apparently, the magnet was frozen in the tube. I don't know for sure because when I attempted to remove the unit from the hole, the spool assembley slid off the end of the shaft and sank in 17 feet of water to the bottom of the lake!
When I got home, I opened the second one - the shaft pulled out of the magnet and the spool assembly came off the tube without effort. There appears to be no adhesive sealer being used during assembly at all!
I am extremely disappointed with the quality of product your company is putting out on the market. As I stated earlier, i have used this style tip-up for over twenty-five years and have never had a problem with water and/or seals with my previous units.
I truly hope you will correct this quality-control issue immediately.

First off the tube fills with water and freezes in the pop up, after epoxying the tube to stop water build up, the flag freezes in from snow. The plastic will not hold up to cold. The cover caps broke alowing the pop ups (if not frozen up) to get snapped off during transport. I talked to a fellow fisherman who has had the old style for 20 yrs and is still fishing with them. the new ones are junk.
Pros:
There are none
Cons:
None
Best Uses:
Dont waste your time

I like the product after I sealed the tubes with silicone. They all leaked and froze and the strike indicator did not work. Also not easy to get proper drag adjustment.

Not What They Used to Be

The original pop-ups had a sturdier plastic tube, grey in color, and the three legs were made of a better quality metal. The addition of the orange flag, which seems to have disappeared on this model, was a waste of material and impacted the tube's ability to pop up. I was first introduced to this type of pop-up more than 20 years ago by my in-laws in South Dakota; they were easy to use, and they avoided the "false strikes" of the flag tip ups in heavy winds. The only "con" at that time was that it was difficult in stained water to see the wheel spinning unless the magnet had some coloring on it. The new models take on water, are not as likely to pop up in cold weather, and are hindered by parts that are of a lesser quality. I still use the newer model during warm weather, especially when I fish in SD where you can use four lines, but back in Minnesota, they stay in the basement.
