Good information . The heavier line rating rods , ie a 10# also help make the fight shorter as you have a bit more control . This is important as a fish that's used too much energy in the fight , can die , especially if Piking in the warmer months . This is why most Pike Anglers fish from October to November , up till around March to early April . I have read many comments from guys using 7 weight rods , with lightly dressed fly's , but I'm sorry , that is asking for a dead Pike . They may look tough , but are actually not so tough at all . An 8 # rod is fine for Canals and smaller fly's , or as a backup when in a boat , but ideally you want the 9 or 10# to get some distance with larger fly's . Good video 👍
