>>1689467Okay, perfect. For tying materials all youll need is some beefy hooks, white bucktail, pearl krystal flash and/or flashabou, and gsp thread.
What do you know about your local pike populations? Is the average fish over or under 30 inches? Deep lakes or shallow rivers? Do you only want to target esox or are bass and carp on the radar too?
>>1689696Id say 9 or 10 weight. I do plenty with an 8 weight but casting 6-12 inch bucktails is just easier on a 9 or 10
