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.
It's possible but the reel and rod are not made to handle the stresses that monofilament fishing line will put on the gear. The drags on a fly fishing reel are not as robust as a conventional reel.
Yes. Most reels and rods are interchangeable.
you use the right hand. While fighting the fish pull up the rod and reel in on the way down
To properly reel a fishing rod and bring in your catch, hold the rod with one hand and turn the reel handle with the other hand in a smooth and steady motion. Keep tension on the line to prevent the fish from escaping. Slowly reel in the fish while guiding it towards you, being careful not to jerk the rod or reel too quickly. Once the fish is close enough, use a net or carefully lift it out of the water.
A bait caster is a type of fishing reel. The other two common types of fishing reels are the spinning reel and spincast reels. The baitcaster reel has the reel and the guides of the on the top of the fishing rod (as does a spincaster rod and reel). The baitcaster reel is the most difficult to learn how to use but generally casts farther and has a better drag system for handling larger and more powerful fish.
Unless this is some sort of trick question, considering the category it is in, the obvious answer is sport fishing.
To use a South Bend reel, first, attach it to your fishing rod and ensure it is securely fastened. Next, spool your fishing line onto the reel, making sure it winds evenly. When you're ready to cast, press the release button or flip the bail open, then swing the rod back and forward to cast. Finally, close the bail and engage the reel handle to start retrieving your line.

I wouldn't recommend it, they are to soft and ice fishing is much about feeling. Ice rods are significantly shorter than a standard rod. It is much easier to feel a very subtle bite with an ice rod. Also, the reels are usually constructed to work in cold conditions, the rod line guides are usually sized to not freeze, up, etc.
Yes, you can use a saltwater reel in freshwater fishing. However, it is important to clean and maintain the reel properly after each use to prevent corrosion and damage from the freshwater environment.
