Default New Pike Rod

I'm after a new pike rod, at the moment I'm using a greys platinum 9wt, thinking of going over to a 10 with a shooting head system. What are you using cheers

Loop Pike booster are on sale at the moment and so are Bromandell pike rods, each in 9/10 weight.

I picked up some of the old Snowbee pike lines which are for all intents and purposes a shooting head and I really like them.

I use either an ECHO Edge 8'4" #9 or a 10'10" #7 ECHO SR Switch Rod - depends on the locality but also to a certain extent what I fancy using/casting.

I'm using a #10 zane, and absolutely love it! I was able to pick it up for £200 which was a good price for such a rod.
Temple Fork outfitters TiCr X is also a great pike rod. The John Norris big fly is also very good, especially for a tenner!
