I have a browning 4wt same make. It is pretty slugish for a graphite rod. If I were you I wouldn't bother using it for pike. You will have to put way to much into it for casting big streamers. But thats my opinion. It isnt a bad rod in fact it is a capable trout rod but for bombing heavy streamers you will just tire yourself out. On the good side they are near about indestructible for a graphite rod. Stick some 8wt line on it use on the bow for nymphing or some smaller pike lakes like chesterslough.
