A 9 weight is preferred for the heavier, longer flies needed for pike fly fishing. I use a Loop Pike Booster rod with the matching Pike booster floating line. It has been my favorite pike rod and line over the years. Lines in other brands should be a pike taper or bass taper line for tossing large flies. If you are going with a sinking line, I prefer a type 6 sinking line to get the flies down quicker. I have been using the type 6 90% of the time the last few years as opposed to my floating line, but it all depends what depth and type of water you are hitting.
