Am I the only one reading this with reservations..?
I'm sure you'd be fine with the bulk of pike on most waters, which are under 10lbs. I know poles can subdue quite big carp in the right hands.
But what happens when you hook a half decent one, or one of the mad variety which tears off like the clappers when you hook it..? Surely something's going to give, meaning a pike swimming around trailing hooks, trace and line behind it.
Another quirk is the violence with which pike thrash about and shake their heads - isn't there a risk of pulling the joints out on the pole, leaving a pike swimming about towing several metres of carbon..?
If you're a general coarse angler who sometimes needs to remove pike from a swim because they are disrupting fishing for other species, why not get a telescopic lure rod or something similar, spool up an old reel with 15lb line, and hoick 'em out of the way with that..?
