Rattle Wheels In Sleepers

[Marlonb]

Just curious as to the best way to set up a rattle wheel in a rented sleeper. We are heading to Arnesen's the end of January. I am sure they don't want anyone attaching there rattle wheels to the walls or ceiling with screws and etc. So looking at some of the ways anyone else has tried. Thanks

Maybe a silly answer but could a you get away with a tip up with a beeper alarm sensor on it?

Just sleep close to the tip up so when the flag goes up it slaps ya in the face!

I'll be in a sleeper on mille lacs and on leech in the next 4 days, i know the one on leech has rattle reels in it, pretty sure the one on the big pond does too.

We used a hose clamp to secure the rattle wheel to a C clamp then C clamped the rattle wheel to a chair in the evening, placed the chair over the hole and it worked just fine.

We had some of the old style jig sticks with rattle reels mounted on them. (the ones that have the point on them to stick into the ice)

Give the resort that you are renting from a call....more then likely they will have rattle reels set up in there, and if not they will advise you.

We just got back from arnesens and did both. I took a piece of 1x2" scrap wood about 20" long and screwed a cheap rattle reel to the middle of one side. Then you just span the hole in the floor of the shack with the rattle reel hanging over the hole. Worked slick and takes up no room to pack them. We also had two tip ups down with alarms on them. Out of all four setups down three night we caught a total of 2 eelpout. But it's always fun having them down just in case the big daddy walleye is hungry at midnight and happens to have your minnow hit him in the face!

I just bought one that clips to the side of a bucket.

You can buy rattle reels that have spring clips, similar to alligator clips, attached to the end of them. This is what I use in my perm, as I only put them out when I plan to use them.

Ya attach them to the side of a bucket. Works great outside too....
