Have use this rod since last fall for pike here in sweden. Can say i´m very impress over this rod. It feels very light in your hand but it is a rod with full of power and fellings. Big pike fies are no problem for this rod. Hard wind, no wind, it can handle it. If you are looking for a new pike rod ( or just a rod that can handle big flies and wind ) don´t look further.

The RT Diesel 990 is one of the newest rods from Red Truck. Luckily, I was able to get one of the very first rods because I really needed a new heavy rod for pike fishing. And with the 990, you really have enough power to cast even large streamers and tube flies on long distances, which is not necessarily self-evident for these types of flies. I’m fishing it nearly only with a sink 7 line from the drifting boat and I was really happy with how it performed over the whole season, catching a lot of pike with it. It has a nice a sensivity to it, so you can feel every small contact on your flie, especially if you use a line without any stretch in it. Handling big pikes is also not a problem, I could land two awesome pikes with 111cm with this rod. So, a short conclusion, the RT Diesel 990 is my rod to go to when fishing big streamers going for big fish!
