You bet I got it out a couple times so far and love it. Trigger mechanism takes a touch more prep than the ice rigger I use as well but fool proof and very reliable I find. No way a fish can take it and not trip the flag which has happened a few times with the rigger. The hole doesn't freeze up as fast as well.
Also like that you can set the depth and have it remain constant due to the bobber stop.
It's a really good system. I've never liked hand lining tip up line and have got by with other setups using rods but this is honestly the best by a lot imho.
