It came last week, and I didn't get out to use it until today. The rod is based on an ice fishing rig: 9 inches long, with a 4 inch strike indicator on the end. There's a picture of it on http://www.marmish.ca/index.html They recommend their own little bitty lures (size 14-18) maggots, scuds, etc. I tied up some bead scuds as well. I also tied on a PTN. I went down to the local river on a pier and started in. In 1/2 hour I caught 26 blue gills, all over 8 inches, and some up to 12 inches. The gold bead scud and the PTN caught the most fish. Technigue: lower the bottom lure to the bottom (you can tell because the strike indicator isn't bent under the weight) and then lift it up about three inches. Bounce it around a bit, and there's suddenly a fish on. Sometimes two. I thouroughly enjoyed it.
