An illuminated-heated ice fishing system. The system includes a plurality of sidewalls and a top wall in hinged communication and wherein the device is capable of folding up for storage. The system includes a heated lantern to heat and illuminate a spool of the device. The spool is removably affixed to a sidewall of the device and includes a reflective surface directed towards the interior of the device to reflect the light from the lantern. The sidewalls have a bottom portion comprised of a thermoplastic material for contacting the ice surface.

An ice fishing apparatus with an integrated audible and visual bite indication includes a rod handle with a hollow region that encloses a portion of an audible and visual indicator and circuit assembly. The assembly includes a wire that flexes into engagement with a contact pin when a strike from a fish is detected and closes an indication circuit to activate an audible alarm and an LED indicator light. A tip-up with an integrated audible and visual bite indication for use with an ice fishing rod includes a housing that encloses a portion of an audible and visual indicator and circuit assembly. The assembly includes a wire that flexes into engagement with a contact pin when a strike from a fish is detected and closes an indication circuit to activate an audible alarm and release a mast and flag visual indicator.
