In Mass you are allowed 5 hooks per person when Ice fishing so what you would probably do is set 4 traps and jig for the 5th. NH is 6 hooks if i'm not mistaken.

What I have for my setup is a sled which holds 9 tip-ups and a couple of jigging poles, 7" old school spoon type hand auger w/ extra blade, a couple of scoops to get ice out of the holes, a net for digging the minnows out of the bucket, a couple of sounders, extra hooks, split shot weights, box o' jigs, hook remover, creepers (korkers), Tape Measure, and a Minnow bucket. I can also strap a folding chair and a cooler to the sled and drag everything out at once.

I got a great deal on this stuff a couple of years ago from MD2020 on the board here.

I've only been out a few times but the one thing I find about Ice Fishing is the Fishing always seems secondary....Its more about getting together w/ people out on the ice. Fire up a portable stove, eat, drink, and be merry.
