Every Ice Angler should have at least two Marmish in their tackle bags. They are definitely a tool that should not be overlooked. When you fish Gull lake and can see a whitefish inhale a wireworm on your rod and spit it out... without looking down the hole... you really have something. Ive been using them for perch trout and walleye in depths no more than 12 feet, for years. To each their own, but to call them garbage is wrong. Sorry to say, many people have learned to handle the bigger fish on them, Im assuming you just havent learned how to do so.
