This combo is built for serious pike fishing with big lures, without becoming heavy or awkward. The 8'6'' Söder Tackle Perfection HD Cast rod with 60–150 g casting weight has a powerful backbone and a responsive tip, which helps with solid hook-sets and clean figure-eights close to the boat. The length suits both shore and boat anglers who need distance and good line control in wind and waves.
The Abu Garcia Max 5 low profile reel is designed for heavy casting and trolling, with a strong Duragear™ brass gear and Power Stack Carbon Matrix™ drag that handles hard runs from big fish. MagTrax™ makes it easier to tune the cast for lure weight and wind, reducing backlashes. Spooled with Söder Tackle Scout Braid X8, you get a round, smooth braid that casts far and gives clear contact with the lure, which is key when fishing slow jerkbaits or deep-running swimbaits.
