your tackle box can be your trout box converted (emptied and replace with ice fishing lures)
4-5 different styles of jigs from pimples to jig heads and there are hundreds to chose form.
you can even tie your own jig heads the same as you would a fly. I havent as yet, but I do have buddies who do. you can buy them already pre teid as well.
in your box you will want a hook hone, pair of small siciors, split shot of various sizes, barol swivels, swivel snaps, vary small bobbers, spare hooks. and on your person you will want a pair of hemostats cliped to you much the same as flyfishing.
the thing I like most about ice fishing is that I spend as much time making my own ice fishing stuff and most fly fisherman spend tieing flies.
you will get out of this sport what you put in to it. but just like fly fishing you need to concentrate your efforts in the right areas.
with the information I have provided you thus far you can get in to lakers, trout, stripers, walleye and bass.
the smaller pan fish are a riot, and by far the taistier. like the perch gills crappie.
