Rod, reel, spare spool and two Pike fly lines: the GRC Predator Combo from Greys has everything you need to enter the exciting world of Pike fishing. We have tested the 9-weight rod for you in the field and present the price-performance-kit in detail in this video.
Just tie on a leader, some wire and streamer and you're ready to go! With the GRC Predator Combo, Greys offers an affordable and functional set for Pike and predator fishing.
The 'ready-to-go' kit consists of a powerful class 9 carbon fibre rod with a length of 9 ft. The fast action makes it suitable for long casts in windy conditions. In our adh-fishing practical test, the GRC rod mastered even weighted Pike streamers without any problems and allows easy casting. The dark blank with the red highlights has a modern look and harmonises perfectly with the two Greys Pike lines (Floating and Intermedaite) in matching line classes. We particularly liked the Intermediate line which is ideal for edges and water depths of 1 - 2.5m. The shorter belly of these lines is equally suitable for lakes, channels and rivers and will transport any streamer to its destination. Thanks to the two different sink rates, you can react flexibly to most situations on the water.
The rod is balanced with a Greys QRS 7/8 cassette fly reel. The brake can be easily adjusted via the large knob. The scope of delivery also includes a spare spool, which is already prepared with the second Pike line and enough backing.
We Think:
Beginners and price-conscious Pike junkies alike will be pleased with the GRC Predator Combo from Greys. The Full Welss handle feels good in the hand and the quality of the cork is convincing considering the very attractive price of the combo. With the two lines, whose casting weight is well matched to the rod, you have many options and can offer your fly in different layers of water. Changing the lightweight spools can be done on the water easily and quickly. Just tie on a leader, some wire and streamer and you're ready to go!
