i need a rod for my shimano vanford 4000
i am thinking about getting the hearty rise predator 3 to go after big pikes (i don't think we have that in our rivers and lakes anymore)
Either the rod with 20-100gr or the rod with 50-150gr lure weight.
i would fish 8" easy shiner (42gr) with a 18-24gr jighead/chatterbait
so i need to cast about 60gr comfortable
with that the 50-150gr should be a bit to big, shouldn't it?
on the other side there is a local lure-manufacture here that produce 25cm long baits which weight about 97g.
the bait together with a jighead/chatterbait should almost reach 120gr.
so maybe rather the big version of it.
