im not critisizing your reel choices...but isnt the FX rod like 20 bucks?
A 200 dollar reel on a 20 dollar rod seems unusual to me.
He said it was for pike....I use cheap rods for pike as well. As long as they cast decent I am not to worried about the quality of my rod. Plus, the hardware I throw for them typically has a fair amount of weight to it so a cheaper rod will cast just fine. The reel, to me, is way more important for this kind of fishing.
