Anyone ever use Marmish jig rods

[skinnytrucker]

I'm doing more jigging this year and am not real happy with my current jig rods and just took a look at one of our sponsors "Marmish" and thought they look pretty easy to use. Anyone else on here have any experience good or bad using these?  They are kinda pricey and I wanna make sure there a good item before making the investment. Thanks

The strike indicators on them are great on the very light bites.  Just make sure you'll be comfortable fighting fish by pulling them up hand over hand on light line before you buy one.  They are great in shallower waters, but start to become a hassle in over 15 feet depths.

They are the best shallow water rod on the market. I have caught a ton of fish on mine. The strike indicator is the best on the market. I would not leave home without it or pannies.

Well guys after 4 good reviews in such a short time I had to pull the trigger. Just made my purchase thru Marmsh.ca and will update this as soon as I use this rig. Thanks everyone for being so helpful in this matter.

My Brother bought one and when I saw it I had to laugh.  I don't laugh any more as he uusually outfishes me with it. I have never fished in deep water with him but it really is a nice product.

I caught perch with my marmish rod yesterday on the bottom in 30 ft of water, not a problem hand lining them in but it does take a little longer lowering the jig back down as the 2 lb mono was sticking to the snow/ice a little bit. They are great when fishing shallow like later in the year when I am catching pan fish in 12 ft or less you can't beat the marmish rod.

Just another quick question bout these jig rods. Marmish sells there own line of "baitless" jigs and I was wondering if these jig rods work better with Marmish jigs or can you put anything on there? Last weekend I used a small red Lindy darter with a crappie minnow and had great success with crappie.

Well guys, after 11 days of waiting my Marmish showed up. I gotta say it is much smaller than what I expected. The strike indicator is probably the part I like the most. I'm gonna put some line on it Sun. morning and hit the lake with it. It also came with one jig which I thought was pretty cool of them to send to me. I'm pretty excited to try my new toy out. I will let you know what I think of this after Sun.

Well today was my first day using the Marmish rod and I now have a new mistress in my life. This rod is awesome!! They sent me one free jig with it I think it's called a "canoe #1". Not 100% sure bout that cause there was no paperwork with the jig. It just came in a plastic bag. The most difficult part was getting line on the reel. The holes are extremely tiny and was hard to do while sitting in the shack. The strike indicator seems to work very well but since I'm still pretty new at jigging I find myself doing more sightfishing and I need to train myself to just sit back in the chair and watch the strike indicator. I ended up with 11 crappie for the day which is a pretty good day for a rookie. Anyone else have any questions bout this rig please feel free to ask.

I am waiting for mine to show up.   Hopefully we will still have some ice here in the Denver area to try it out.  If I have to head to the mountains to use it, has anyone used these rods for trout?

[tapsboy68]

i just bought one a few hours ago. What kind of jigs do people recommend for them? I normally fish perch. I will be fishing pan fish later in the year when they start to spawn. Also what kind of line do people spool them up with?

[skinnytrucker]

Mine came with a free jig called "Canoe #1" and is great for any and all pan fish. Not sure bout brand line you wanna use but I wouldn't go any bigger than a 2 LB.

has anyone used these rods for trout?

My biggest rainbow was 9.2 lbs on a Marmish rod and over 11 lb lake trout. I didn't like them for that big of a fish as the laker I was fighting expired in the fight and my arms were almost expired to. Hard to release and need long revival times. Those little rods have won me lots of $$$ at derbies. They really shine when the bite is very slow. I like to use the larva #3 green and Ural #3 green for rainbow trout
