Historically ice fishing gear has always been very homemade. Most of why I love ice fishing is that you can build the things you need with essentially garbage. An axe to cut a hole and a line with a hook is all you need everything past that is gravy.
Casting is irrelevant so rods can be way more basic than open water rods.
You have free instant spot lock, good luck keeping your jon boat right at the edge of a weed bed or watching a single fish come up to take your bait either on sonar or through a big hole in the ice.
Also if you have big water near you, it's accessible in all weather. Big lakes like Simcoe are nearly inaccessible in bad weather with small craft, no big deal with ice you're still just walking on a solid surface.
Ice fucking rocks you should try it.
