Hi Guys

As many of you know ive been pondering a fly rod for pike , but like a women im having real trouble making up my mind dont tell the wife i said that

Anyway my idea now is a "dual purpose" pike and sea fly rod set up, after much pondering im seriously thinking of a Vision GT four SW 9' 9#

My thinking being it should have enough to chuck big pike flies yet due to there lovely casting and fighting nature not be too over powering for UK SWFF

So im asking you veteran pike fly fishers opinion Any of you used this rod against pike Ive posted a similar post on the salty section too

You wouldn't go wrong with the PFFA rod that Garioch makes... I know the blank and I know that it is used for SWFF as well... I'd PM him and get one built!

i have the gtfour 8# and i use it for pike and carp.i love it 8 is more than powerfull enough to turn medium flies.its lovely for saltwater use,i use it all along dorset coast,and will use it in devon cornwall soon.
