What is all the necessary equipment for ice fishing besides the Rod and Reel? Why do people have the portable heaters and point it towards the ice hole, is this so the water doesn’t freeze. I just bought a Ice fishing Rod and was wondering can i use my Shimano Symetre 2500FI with 10lb braided test for ice fishing or do i need something smaller with a lower test.
Also if you do not have a depth finder how do you no how deep your fishing when ice fishing also what type of baits work for ice fishing. Live or Fake? Are Crappie minnows with a jig good?
Also I do not want to spend money and carrying a heavy Motorized Ice Auger so do those cheaper Hand Ice Auger work effectively. There are also different sizes for these Hand Augers what size is good?
Thanks so much- if you haven’t notice this is going to be my first time Ice fishing.
Thanks for the help guys
Can I have the website or number or something please! Aswell as the name obviously 
ALSO
I’m a BEGINNER in COARSE fishing. So only COARSE fishing. I fish mainly carp but would like ALL ROUND tackle for COARSE fishing please. Tah.
So basically, what is the best place to buy good quality and cheap/reasonable priced tackle for coarse fishing? preferrabley for beginners. I dont really wanna spend that much!
