This combo is built for serious pike fishing with larger lures, whether casting or trolling. The rod’s 24T carbon blank in XXH class gives the backbone needed for big softbaits, swimbaits and jerkbaits in the 50–200 g range, yet still offers a clean, predictable action when setting the hook at distance.
Two-legged guides, a strong reel seat and EVA handle provide control and comfort on long sessions. The Abu Garcia Max 5 - 400 LH baitcasting reel is designed to move heavy lures steadily, with Duragear™ brass gears and a 95 mm handle with large soft-touch knobs for extra cranking power. The graphite frame keeps weight sensible without feeling flimsy. MagTrax™ braking helps tame the spool when throwing bulkier baits, while the Power Stack Carbon Matrix™ drag delivers smooth pressure when a big fish digs down. Paired with Söder Tackle Scout Braid x8, this set offers a ready-to-fish solution for anglers targeting large pike.
