Sullivan Tip Drop (Red) - Adjustable Tipping Deadstick Rod Holder with Lighted Tube

Overview

The Sullivan Tip Drop Red is a patented tipping deadstick rod holder designed to deliver reliable rod security and heightened sensitivity on the water. Its signature flag can subtly move your bait, inviting attention when you want action, or be removed to keep the bait still in windy conditions. The knee-high profile reduces line bow and helps you maintain a clean presentation, especially when gusts pick up. The design folds compactly, letting four units fit neatly in a standard 5-gallon bucket for easy transport and storage.

Key benefits you may notice

Designed for versatility, this unit supports a range of fishing styles and reels. Notable benefits include:

• Adjustable sensitivity that lets you tailor the feel of bites to your preferred technique
• Solid rod security that keeps gear aligned and ready
• Six bright color options for quick visual reference in busy chop or low light
• Compatibility with both left-handed and right-handed reels for flexible setups
• Lighted tube option that can illuminate the line and bait path in dim environments

On the water — how it adapts to your day

Switching rods on the same Tip Drop enables easy transitions between panfish and pike setups, shortening changeover time between targets. The knee-high stance minimizes line bow, which may help you detect subtle takes, especially when wind pushes your line. If wind creates unintended movement, you can remove the flag to keep bait still and preserve your line discipline. The compact fold design makes transportation simple and keeps your bucket organized while you move along the shoreline.

Color, compatibility, and care

Choose from six vivid colors to match your gear and keep track of multiple rigs at a glance. These tip downs are designed to work with most standard spinning reels and inline reels, and are available in left or right hand configurations to fit your preferred wind-up style. Made in the USA by Sullivan Tip Down LLC, this tool is built for durability and long-term use.
