Welcome aboard Seabum17 ...I carry light weight and medium weight rods as well as a good assortment of jigs and lures.... There are a few things I wouldn't go out on the ice without..... ice picks, a spud bar and electronics.

Thanks for the Nils recommendation PoolGuy.Coffin Dodger, really appreciate the advice. I dropped the chisel from the order. I figure I'll take a ride up to KTP and see what they have in a few weeks. If you're in Lee, NH we'll probably be fishing some of the same water.
Look for a Jiffy Mille Lacs 52" chisel. I have the deluxe 2pc and love it. The progressive cutting teeth fly through the ice compared to a straight cutting edge.
Yep, nice list. If you end up really liking ice fishing, your list will never end............. It's a nasty addiction!So true , but a good addiction to have
Good list Jiggin. So right about never having enough "stuff". Do you remember bread bags over your socks to keep your boots dry - your most likely too young!
Too funny!!! Brings back some ol memories.Yes I remember...we used to save wonder bread bags just for that. That's how my grandfather taught me. My feet were soaked from sweating by the end of the day and then my feet froze! Soooo love the new boots of today.ps: turned 50 this year!
