ABSTRACT:
There is an ice fishing rig and a kit for the same. The rig is selectively adjustable between `tip-up` and `rod-and reel` configurations. The kit comprises a handle, an elongated reel securable to the handle, and a rod selectively securable to the handle in a forwardly projecting position or a rearwardly projecting position. The rod includes a fishing line guide, eg. a hole. There is also means cooperative with the handle for selectively supporting the rig in the `tip-up` configuration over an ice fishing hole. The latter means preferably includes a pair of rods, each having a length greater than a width of a typical ice fishing hole. Preferably the rig also includes a spring indicator cooperatively adapted to alert an fisherman when a fish pulls on a fishing line extending from the rig operatively in the `tip-up` position. The spring indicator preferably is attachable at one end thereof to a side of the handle opposite to a side where the reel is attachable, such that a free end of the spring is bendable over to and releasably securable at about the pivot axis between the handle and the reel.
