I went ice fishing for the first time in MN this winter and had a blast! I am on a budget and am just looking to have a basic walleye/perch setup. I know I should probably have two different rods for targeting the different species but am wondering if this is basic enough? I plan on using some live bait as well. Will be fishing mostly in MN (hole hopping, don’t have an ice house). Any recommendations for a beginner would be great!

Down size to 4lb fluorocarbon line and your perch bite will be even better, as well as be strong enough for Walleyes. Basically invisible. All those lures will work. One suggestion I have for perch is get really small jigs and tip with a tiny bit of minnow, meal worm, etc. The smaller the better.
What action is the rod? If it’s ML it should work just fine
