Marmish Rods

Wiener:
I bought 2 Marmish Rods at the St Paul Ice Show, What Lb test fishing line would you guys recommend ?

Would you use Mono or a no stretch braid?


Thanks,

Wiener

I have 2 as well....one I spooled with 2 pound Berkely Fireline micro ice fused for perch and small fish. the nice thing is that it can handle the sharp edges of the ice, con is that it does fray and you need to trim it a  lot. you can get it in one pound test even.

I put on a different brand of ice line on the other spool, 4 pound mono, it breaks all the time.


depends what you are fishing for too.

hope this helps
ps you definitely want low memory line with marmish, as the hooks are so light, and the line can go straight down instead of with coils....i did that first time and respooled it with different line.

Wiener:
thanks for the help,

I'm still getting the hang of the hookset with these rods.


Thanks again,


Wiener

shepike:
yes its a little different, I wait until the spring bobber bends quite far then pull straight up ( holding the rod vertical, pull up quickly about 5-6 inches) or you can use your fingers to set too. bonus if you can see the fish take the lure into their mouth.

good luck!

how deep can you fish with the rods?
