Thourghly enjoyed reading through the blog thanks mate, especially the pike atricles.
Funny the first thing that started the draw back to lure fishing was my canadian fishing trip this year pike fishing on lures.
Using 6ft rods which are rated ro 40grams only and fishing 5 of diamond spoons.
Now landing the smaller fish around 30lb wasnt too bad using the clutch on the reels.
Though a 62lb northern pike has a lot of fun running me ragged on these rods i have to say though the best sport i have veer encounter. Also landes char, salmon, trout and barbel on lures all bloody goo fights looking forwards to next years trip already.
