Ice fishing is very popular you do not need many supplies, and the supplies that you need are affordable. There are many choices of equipment available, prices for the equipment range from the very cheap to the very expensive. Get equipment that is of reasonable to good quality, something that will last you more than one fishing season. Avoid the very cheap equipment they will not last long, you will need to replace them often. The Practical Sportman bet is to purchase slightly higher priced equipment so that you are guaranteed of a couple fishing seasons at least. One rule that is different for ice fishing is that you can have 2 active lines in the water but you must be within 30 feet of both.  You can aggressively fish with one rod and passively fish or dead set with the second.

Practical Equipment:

Fishing rods: all fishing equipment lists should start with a good quality fishing rod, including ice fishing. A good fishing rod for ice fishing is short and very strong to make sure that it can take the strain and weight of the fish. You can get rod/reel combos, teho 2 and 3 ice rods, or grandpa’s favourite a piece of wood 1 foot long notched on both ends.
