What Types of Ice Fishing Gear Can You Buy at Jack Traps?

Jack Traps (jacktraps.com) sells far more than the tip-ups it is named for. The catalog spans 11 product categories, from the core Jack Trap Tip Ups and bundled Jack's Ultimate Packs to augers, rods, bait supplies, and even ice fishing art. If you want to gear up for hard-water season from a single Maine-based shop, the range covers most of what you need—though whether it is truly "one-stop" depends on how specialized your setup is.

The core: tip-ups and complete packs

These two categories are the heart of the site and the reason most anglers land there.

• Jack Trap Tip Ups – 11 products. The flagship line, described as individually handcrafted since 1979 and built from "heirloom quality and high grade materials." This is also where the "Customize your traps" option lives, which the site says opens up "thousands of combinations."
• Jack's Ultimate Packs – 6 products. Pre-assembled bundles positioned as "everything you need to get out on the ice," a sensible starting point if you would rather not build a setup piece by piece.

If your goal is simply to buy the traps themselves, you can stop here. Everything below is either support gear or adjacent equipment.

Parts, accessories, and storage

• Jack Trap Accessories & Parts – 30 products. Spares and upgrades for maintaining or rebuilding your traps.
• Pack Baskets & Liners – 7 products. Storage and transport for your gear.
• Trap Sleeves – featured separately as a way to "protect your investment," which pairs logically with the heirloom positioning of the traps.

Line, tackle, and bait

• Line & Terminal Tackle – 21 products.
• Bait Supplies – 28 products.

Together these cover the consumables you replace every season, so you are not forced to source line and bait from a second retailer.

Augers and general ice fishing gear

• Augers and Accessories – 58 products. The largest equipment category after rods.
• Ice Fishing Gear – 69 products. A catch-all for general hard-water equipment.

A featured item here is the Long Handle Ice Skimmer with Chipper, suggested as a way to "match your traps"—a small signal that the site curates accessories around the trap line rather than treating them as unrelated stock.

Rods, reels, lures, and clothing

• Rods, Reels & Lures – 74 products. The single largest category on the site.
• Clothing – 24 products. Cold-weather layers for time on the ice.

The non-essential category

• Ice Fishing Art – 16 products. Decorative rather than functional—worth knowing about so the category count does not mislead you into thinking it is all tackle.

Can you buy everything in one order?

The catalog is broad for a trap-focused shop, but it is organized around ice fishing rather than general outdoor retail. The listed categories do not include shelters, flashers/sonar, or safety equipment, so if those are on your list, plan on a second source.

How to decide where to start

• Buying your first set of traps: start with Jack's Ultimate Packs, then add line and bait supplies.
• Replacing or upgrading existing traps: go straight to Jack Trap Tip Ups and use the customization option.
• Maintaining traps you already own: Accessories & Parts plus Trap Sleeves.
• Filling out a full kit: work through Augers, Ice Fishing Gear, and Rods/Reels/Lures, and check the featured items for curated pairings.

One practical note: the site does not publish pricing in the material available here, so treat category browsing as a way to shortlist what you need, then confirm cost and availability on the individual product pages before ordering.
