if fishing for pike trout or walleye, you will be wanting a tip-up in your 5 gallon bucket.
you will want a braded tip up line of at least 20 pounds
you will want at least a 15 pound steel leader
and you will want a small hand full of treble hooks. half inch and bigger.
there are many types of tip ups. you can build your own or buy one,
there are the ever popular stick tipups that have been around for ages with a flag.
I use the polar and have only had to buy one in the last 10 years. good product.
there are also the tipe that look like fat lids for five gallon buckets. they cover the hole so that blowing snow dose not fill your hole. also it aids in keeping your hole from refreezing. that is a pluss on them wintery days when the temps drop to well below zero.
