What Rod weight and Line type
Rod
The Lucius rods have been designed with toothy predators in mind, like Northern Pike (hence the name) and Musky.
They are fast action rods, with loads of butt power that will deliver your fly, even the bigger half chicken size flies, way out in the horizon – or at least in that direction, and help you battle that trophy predator that just might take your fly on the next outing….
All fitting used are suited for use in saltwater, so the Lucius rods can, without any problems, also be used in areas where Pike is fished for in brackish water.
The fast, yet smooth and controlled action will generate a great feeling of your cast, which is so important when tossing those big air resistant flies.
We designed this series of rods with a deep all black blank with green olive trimmings.
They perform perfectly together with the Pike/Musky flylines and equally well with the color matching A.Jensen Pike fly reel.
9’ # 8
The lightest in the range, for when you like using light tackle. Despite the lower class, it still handles bigger flies quite well and the rod has plenty of power for battling big fish. This rod, of course, performs especially well when fishing areas with smaller bait = smaller flies, such as many of the brackish areas or in some river. In areas where you’re wading, and need to cover as much water as possible with long casts, the 8 weight is also the perfect choice.
9’ # 9
In the mind of many, the 9 weight is the “go to” size for a pike rod. It handles big flies with ease and is still light, so you can keep casting a full day with no or minimum fatigue. The 9 weight’s powerful action ensures convincing delivery of big flies at distance. It is also a great rod for flicking poppers during high summer or precise presentation of even biggest flies in tight holding spots along the margins of the river or lake.
9’ # 10
The big gun in the range, and the choice if you’re in search of Musky in North America. Fishing for pike it is the choice if you toss the biggest monster flies, which it handles with impressive ease. It is the rod to choose when fishing big waters with big fish. The superior and brute power of the blank makes it ideal if you fish with sinking lines on the bigger lakes, which really requires a powerful rod. Despite the high class, it is quite light and very well balanced, so it is amazingly easy to handle
Reel
The Pike fly reel is your answer if you’re looking for a specialist reel with a decent brake for your predator fly fishing
We wanted to make a light and tuff reel with a proper disc brake and with a large arbor and functional design.
The outcome was the Pike fly reel
The reel is CNC cut from High Grade 6061 Aircraft Aluminium. The sheer strength of this pretty expensive material ensures high stability, which is one of the most important issues, especially when you at the same time make a light reel.
We have even made an extra strong house with a full frame design to make the base of the reel as stable and strong as possible.
Not something that cuts weight, but sure adds to strength and stability. The full framed house also ensures the line will not “jump off the spool” and get tangled behind the spool on the main shaft of the reel – something all users of shooting heads will appreciate!!
Features:
Precision CNC cut from High Grade 6061 Aircraft Aluminium
Ultra large arbor
Easy adjustable disc brake
Easy to change from right hand to left hand retrieve
Full Frame house design for extra strength and stability
Saltwater resistant, so it can be used in Brakish waters
Quick spool change without loose parts
Line
The head is short, 8,5 m, and made for super quick loading, which will get the big flies "flying" right from the first false cast. The line has a serious taper, that will ensure good casting of even the heaviest and most bulky flies and with its steep front taper it is turning bigger flies much easier.
But it is not a delicate line, It is not for delicate deliveries at all. It is a super agressive line, that makes casting and fishing the bulky wind resistant flies a lot easier, even on more windy days.
There is a super slim loop towards the reels end, to ensure little friction if a fish goes into the backing....and a heavier front look, to take the hard beading and it is at the same time more stiff, to avoid Hinge with the often heavy leader used for this type of fishing.
