I am in two minds on weather to go pike fishing with the fly in the close season but i am wanting to know if my 9ft 6/7# rod would be able to handle a good pike or would i have to get a 8 or 9# rod?


Thanks in advance

To be able to cast the big pike flies you will need something quite a bit heavier.

So i will need to spend some more money on a new rod

Thanks for the help by the way,

get a 10wt mate not only for cast'n the big flys but for fish care bully them in quick get them back save at a push a good 9wt good luck mate .

A 10 weight and if your fishing with a floater use an 11 weight it will help greatly with turnover.
