Line for Marmish rods
Hi guys, I picked up a couple of marmish rods and I'm planning on having one as a perch/trout setup with 2-4 lb test fluoro and the other one maybe 8 lb test for walleye. Would that work out okay? Or should I settle on a 2 lb test perch rig and a 4-6 lb test for trout, and get a more conventional rod for walleye?

I would use a rod for walleye. Nice to have a drag for the fighters.

My choice is 4.4 lbs flurocarbon for multipurpose palm rod set up.
Pulled out few trouts and whities over 1kg.
Works good for perch as well.

Second the rod for walleye. The marmish is good for trout and perch. Love it for the sensitivity. Hard to fight the larger guys by hand.

Thanks everybody, thought maybe it would work well for some of the more sensitive biters, I've missed many a hook set on them in the summertime.

Try Tectan line it is the best mono for marmite rods.

I use 4 lb test Berckley Micro Ice premium mono for perch etc. and 6 lb for whites and walleye on my Marmish rods. Find the flouro to stiff and kinky in the winter, hence you may not feel those very subtle nibbles. (The new ice fishing flouro that has come out in the last year or so might be different though)
I usually use 8 lb - 12 lb test braid with flouro leader on my Walleye rods.

I love my marmish rod for perch and the smaller trout you can fight by hand. I have only landed 2 pike successfully out of dozens of strikes. Usually use 4 lb Sufix ice line.

I have used Marmish rods for more years than I care to remember. After trying tons of lines, I agree with Mackinaw on the Tectan line. They are extremely thin, tough as can be, and really supple. I use from the 1 lb up to the 6 lb, depending on what I am fishing on. Won't lie...catching bigger fish that hit hard can often bust the little rod quickly. I think the biggest fish I have ever landed on them is a Walleye just over 5 lb at Sturgeon Lake. Most bust off long before you can tire them out.
