go with the willow branches like DANC said
add some good line a hook n minnow and sinker and a red ribbon
and your set
no need for ice rods espeacially if you dont pay attention to them as they dissapear quickly if the pike are lurking around
then again if u like perch fishing the panfish popper is a good combo
but for pickeral and pike stick with the willow branch and if not
a piece of hockey stick clothes hanger and a small spool of line will be good
