Hello pikers

Post by Numbnutz »

Hello, just want to say hi, not pike fished for ages, so looking for knowledge on tackle and rigs etc. I have 3 sets of rods, pair of 12 ft 2.75s, pair of 12 ft 3.5s and a pair of 10 ft 3.5s. Any suggestions as to which would be best, or could I find a use for all of them?

Welcome to the forum.... I'd say any of those rods would be fine as long as they will cast your chosen bait where you want it to go....Generally slower action rods rather than fast taper casting sticks can give you an edge. Reliable reels, line/braid, terminal tackle and unhooking gear is much more important.....
