Quick take
A 16-piece stainless steel automatic ice fishing trap with adjustable spring trigger for unattended fishing under the ice.
This Chivao set holds 16 spring-loaded stainless steel hook devices in four lengths, from about 11.7 cm up to 18.5 cm. Each one springs the hook when a fish takes the bait, so it suits unattended setups under the ice. The needle-point hooks are light and thin, which keeps the whole set easy to carry and store in a small box.
