Going on a northern pike trip to northern Canada (400 miles north of
Winnipeg) beginning of June. I realize that the main difference between
these two lines is in the taper. However, I believe that I can cast
fairly well with the 444SL and probably don't need to go for the more
expensive pike/musky. Question is how does the 444SL perform in cool to
cold water that I'll be experiencing during my trip? Thanks,

It's more about the size of fly than anything else. Big, bulky flies
need a bass or pike taper while small ones don't. If you intend to
toss big flies, your 444SL will wimp out on you, especially if the
wind is up.
