you can have some good fun on the fly outfit mate, small jacks will take ordinary trout lures with damsels and cats whiskers ect being verry effective, if using these type of flies then an ordinary 7-9 weight fly rod will be suffice, i use both traditional andmethods and fly fish for pike too,if your not at the other end of the country i would be happy to show you the ropes,pm me with some details and we'll have a day out
