I don't ice fish often (even sold my auger years ago) but I'm getting the fever just reading these posts.
I made an ice rod a while back from the tip section of an old 9-wt fly rod I had. I attached a handle with reel seat and hung an under-rod spin cast reel on it. I love it. I'll snap a pic if I can unearth it from its storage spot.
The core drill sounds interesting. You wouldn't try to haul the core up and out - you'd push it down until it tipped and floated away under the ice. No muss, no fuss.
