new rod selection

[manitoubass2]

Howah you took that to heart lol

I have no issues with a medium rod for varies species.

But ultralite has no business in waters with big fish IMO.

Some fish like lakers or surgeon are exceptions as theye are very very tough fish. Walleyes or pike are not.

And landing a pike from shore in one minute means one or two things. You hooked the fish next to shore and shallow, or your reeling in very fast. Or both.

Drag plays a big role here as well.

And if any of us have experience huge hooksets are rarely necessary. If your rippen lips your doing something wrong
