Nicemustang is right...it is not only about rod but about experience and knowing how to use it as well. Give marmish to somebody who had never fished with it and he most likely will lose to experienced fisherman using stick.
Pikester, give me a shout when you will be going out to try your marmish for the first time, I might have some tips for you.

I might hold you to that
