How to decide between a light and ultra-light ice fishing rod and reel combo?

We are just getting started, wanting to do some general ice fishing in north-west Michigan?

If you’re fishing mainly for pan fish, ultra light is definitely the way to go. If you’re going to be fishing for walleye or some other larger game fish, you might want to get the light combo. If you can get an extra spool for the light combo, put 2lb. test on it, and just change to the light line when you’re after pan fish.
