Hi im a newbie to lure fishing, can anyone give me any advice what rod and reel would be ideal for pike lure fishing? I have a 8ft 5-20g rod and a 2500 reel which caught me a few perch and my first pike on monday but im thinking i should up the power of rod and reel. I was looking at the daiwa prorex s 120g, and a 4000 reel for using big lures, would this be ok or is it a bit over kill for rivers? Thanks
