Product Details
Sidekick™ Thermal Tip-Up
The Vexilar Thermal Tip-Up is designed to work in conjunction with the exclusive Sidekick™ WiFi Sonar Transducer. Simply snap the Sidekick module into the designated slot on the tip-up, and you’re ready to fish. For the first time, you can monitor your tip-ups from a distance of up to 300ft with real-time sonar feedback via the Vexilar app or the Vision X10 head unit. The magnet on the tip-up flag also allows you to receive flag alerts when a bite triggers the flag. Never be left wondering if your bait is still on, if there has been any action near your tip-up, or if your flag is up.
The thermal tip-up is insulated to keep your hole from freezing over, but requires the Sidekick integration to keep the hole fully protected from the elements. The red flag and black base are both highly visible from long distances. The tip-up is constructed from injection-molded ABS material, making it extremely durable and lightweight. Use the magnet on the spool to keep your hook from coming loose during transport and store your Sidekick cable or additional tackle in the storage compartment. The Vexilar Thermal Tip will literally change the way you view tip-up fishing!
Features:
- Insulated Tip-up
- Exclusive Sidekick compatibility
- Storage compartment
- Hook keeper magnet
- Durable and lightweight ABS material
