I'm in Whitefish MT and the ice is just about off the lake. I need to get a complete setup for pike. Prefer to buy package but can piece it together to.

I have a 6 weight Scott radian currently, so I think that I want an 8 weight.

Pm me post here or text me. 515-556-6568

$500 budget

There's a new TFO BVK 8 weight for sale here in the classifieds that is a great deal for $160. Perfect stick for you!

My fear is that they are prone to breaking. I am prone to casting shitttttie and hitting my blank with the fly on occasion. I know they have a great warranty, but that does me no good when I'm fishing 200 miles from home on a 3 day weekend.

What makes you say they are prone to breaking? TFO rods are generally pretty dependable.

On another related note, have you considered the TFO Esox?

Find yourself a TFO TICR or TICRX. Both of these are older models, they are bulletproof.

I vaguely recall you had a Sage Z Axis 9 wt. that would probably be a sweet pike rod @Richard E ......maybe @SERE Nate is your buyer?

The z axis 9 is probably awesome!
Good memory, man! I do indeed have a mint condition 990-4 Z Axis that would be an absolutely killer pike and musky stick...it's available.
