"That thing looks like a toy TGF." Ever heard that one?!
get a st.croix legend elite spring bobber rod...much wiser choice
Although the St. Croix rod is a fine rod and has some advantages over the Marmish, I'd never trade my Marmish. When fighting fish the learning curve on the Marmish "manual" drag system can be steep and frustrating but it is still doable (advantage auto drag of spinning reel). Where the line is drawn for me is strike indication. Having sat just last week perch fishing in a Fish Trap Guide with another guy for 8 hours (him using the St. Croix and me using the Marmish) the sensitivity of the Marmish is greater than that of the St. Croix but, even then, there are just bites so light that even the Marmish does not detect them (this was confirmed by sight fishing). Another often over looked trait of the Marmish that is nice is the ability, when the bite is hot, to get your jig back into the strike zone very rapidly after landing a fish. With the line already spooled out it is a simple task that can prove difficult with a spinning reel while using 1/64oz jigs and smaller.It also seemed much easier to avoid line twist. I don't mean line twist so bad that it causes coiling when slack out of the water. I mean line twist that never seems to let your jig sit perfectly motionless, which I think was to my advantage the other day.Either way you lean, towards the Marmish or towards the St. Croix I think you have fine products in your hands but don't ask to trade me a Marmish for the St. Croix.
