ataclaith is on a distinguished road
Lightbulb In need of help/advice

hi,
I hope I have put this post in the the right place.

I have never fished for pike before and I want to start but I need some advice on what type of fishing rods and reels I need to buy . My aim is to have one if not two different type of rods for bait fishing and the same for spinning (also need to know what type of line/tackle/floats/traces/hooks is best suited to each type of fishing)

If anyone can help me or give me further advice on this matter, And if you could recommend any place to buy this it would be great.

tnx
atalcaith

Re: In need of help/advice

wow alot of questions

rods well spinning a heavier weight rod will help strong line 12lb + or braid 30lb
bottom baits a carp rod 2 3/4 lb will do you , reels size 5000 min i would say, will help with launching what will prob be a largish bait

look through the pike section there is alot of info about rigs etc in there, its where i started and am now well and truley hooked on these beautifull fish

the PAC are great for advise as well

pike are a fabulous fish but altough scary and toothy on the outside very fragile as well so please treat with respect

hope this helps and good luck

dave
