Default iFish Pro tip up?

Looking to get some real world feedback on these, if it's worth buying. I already have a jawjacker but this looks interesting too. Haven't seen it in person yet but based on reviews the cons are it's size and apparently it doesn't work well when a bit of ice forms over the hole.

Bought one this year and it’s slick...haven’t had issue with freeze up and I’ve been out in some windy and snow conditions. Recommend for sure!

I bought one this year as well. I really like it compared to a normal tip up. A lot more fun to fight on a rod and reel. Highley recommend it.

Fishnuts here on AO has a video on his youTube channel on how to make one...or something like the iFish.

Here are two videos I made with the iFish Pro Last year out for pike. It is pretty nice to hook them and fight them on the rod! Must say I was impressed.

It is kind of big and clunky though doesn't store well. That's the only downside.

Tips on how to set up and review.

I think I got a 38 or 39 inch pike on it in this video.

Uncut Angling uses them quite a bit, seem pretty interesting. My buddy who is on the forum made his own, maybe he will post a picture of it.
