An ice fishing equipment storage and transport system or kit provides easier and more organized retention of ice fishing equipment when being stored, transported, or in use. System can include a container such as a bucket having an open interior. A sleeve can be selectively attachable to the bucket and include one or more rod holder tubes, the rod holder tubes having one or more channels or slots adapted to hold an ice fishing rod or tip-up. A bucket container extension portion can attach to the bucket to capture and retain the sleeve between the bucket and the extension. The system can also include a lid for covering the bucket. In some embodiments, the lid can include additional features such as a selectively attachable transducer guide channel and an opening allowing for passage of a battery cable.
