Need a new fly rod for piking from the tube and am thinking of the Shakespeare Expedition travel rod since have heard good things about them.
Question is:- they are available in 8 & 10 weights - would the 10 be a bit heavy to fish from the tube all day? I don't fish massive flies but some do recommend a 10 weight outfit for pike, although my last rod was a Ron Thompson 7-9 and performed fairly well.
