I have now made an icefishing rod stand for the rod that I made recently. I have used two metal shelf brackets, a piece of plywood, and a piece of waste pipe to construct it.
I have also designed a simple "jaw-jacker" so that the hook sets itself when I get a bite. I used a 3mm thick piece of wood to make it. The piece of wood is 8cm long.
The fishing line is laid over the screw that you see in the picture above. The notch that I have carved sits in the outer most eye of the rod. When set, it looks like this.
And here is how it works.

We have been fishing once but had no bites.
