Haven't been here for ages
I have just picked up an old hardy glass 8wt (not sure on model). I plan to use it for small river pike in UK and was looking for line recommendation please.
I have tried it with an airflow lake pro but find it needs a decent amount of line out of the rod to work well (I'm not the world best caster and I know it's a line for chucking distance)
I generally don't need to cast very far.
Should I look at a 'pike' line or maybe just over line by a weight or 2
I was thinking about chopping the airflow back but it seems a bit brutal!!!
Thank you for any help in advance
I'm also planning on a new glass pike rod once I have funds and can work round exchange rates and shipping
