Its controlled power instils confidence during fights with large pike. The rod absorbs violent headshakes, reducing the risk of hook pulls. Anglers benefit from excellent fish control, even near obstacles, and can fully exploit the potential of large lures to target the wariest specimens.

Usage tips

To get the most from the BFT Big Fish Classic pike rod, pair it with a sturdy reel and a high-strength braid sized to the lures used. Set the drag correctly to use the rod's power reserve without risking breakage during the hookset or runs.

When animating large shads, swimbaits or hybrid lures, favour a steady retrieve punctuated by pauses, bursts of speed and cadence changes. This technique highlights the swimming action of Pig Shad, Miuras Mouse and other large baits and triggers strikes from trailing pike. After each outing, wipe the rod down and store it in a suitable sleeve or tube to preserve performance over time.
