Pike can be found in waters throughout the northern U.S. and Canada, and once you’ve experienced the thrill of landing a gator it may just become an obsession. This especially true with musky water too.
A 9- or 10-weight system and a reel with a large arbor will let you pick up the line quickly and have more control over the fish, even big ones.
