Best Answer

There are several types of ice fishing rods and gear. One style uses a tip-up method that involves the fish taking the bait, pulling on line and tripping some sort of signaling device light a flag or electrical light. The other is a standard manual ice-fishing rod which is used by dropping a small jig or baited hook down and then cranked up off the bottom. This rod is used like a regular fishing rod.

After the fishing has ended for the day, and it may be some time before you will go fishing again, the rod and equipment should be washed down with fresh water, dried and oiled. The reel needs to be stripped down and oiled before reassembling. Otherwise, the salt water can cause pitting on the metal surfaces. Also, depending on the material used on the rod and eyelets and rings, etc, they too may need a wipe down, after fresh water washing, with a rag and linseed oil, before putting them away.
Good quality fishing equipment can be costly, so taking proper care can ensure that the equipment lasts for a very long time.
