This rod is making a pretty good reputation for itself in Montana. I'll have one this year..........http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=178204.0

How do those of us from out of state get a peak at one?

That's a good question..........let me check on that........

Let me ask you guys this. What do you all use for reels? I struggle to find a really good reel. My St. Croix reel is ok but not the best. I like quality reels. Big pflueger fan but not sure how they hold up in the extreme cold(without having to change out the grease). What do you guys like???

Haven't done nothing to my shimano's or my flueger trion. The shimano sienna is hard to beat at 30 bucks.

Any recommendations for a walleye rod with a little stiffer back for better hook sets? I used a 28" meat stick and had problems setting the hook.

Robbi · « **Reply #37 on:** Oct 16, 2011, 01:09 AM »

that perch assault rod I mentioned above was designed for large perch and walleye..........still checking on how you can get a look at one...........

Does anyone here use the Marmish rods? I would think they are pretty sensitive.

The spring bobber on the Marmish is fantastic. The whole rod, reel and spring bobber system is so light that it gives you great control of your presentation (think: quivering or vibrating the tail of a Ratso or Gulp Fry while keeping the jig in one spot). To me the Marmish system is a more of a specialized tool than an all around one. It's niche is finessing panfish in under 12 fow, and it does that better than anything else I've seen or used.

Did you pick that up somewhere in Waterloo/CF or did you order one? I would really like to get my hands on one.

Got it at Hank's but it was the only one of that length. They did have a 24" I do believe.

Took it down to the creek and caught a few dink gills and it felt great. Was hoping to get bite by a big ol crap I mean carp so I could of seen how the drag was but I had limited time needing to get home to watch the Bears whip some viking A$$

I really like those fenwicks. For the price they seem like a good deal. We'll see after folks get to try them out though.
