I went out with a friend fishing for Pike the other day and had a great
time, i'd like to look into buying myself a set of kit to go again and am
looking for a bit of advice as to what to get

We were fishing for pike with livebaits and i was borrowing my friends rod,
a Hexagraph 11'6" according to the writing on the side.

I've had a look at some prices and get the feeling that the hexagraph is a
pretty expensive rod, i'd prefer not to pay that much just yet. I'd also
like to keep my options as open as possible in terms of what i can fish as
i'd like to be able to fish for other sorts of fish with the kit i get so i
can see what i like best

I'd like to pay around £200 max for the complete kit for my fist time out
(rod, reel, line, some tackle and a day ticket, i can borrow)

so can anyone offer me any advice on what sort of things to get or possibly
point me to a shop in london where I could go and talk to someone who could
fit me out with the necessary equipment

Hope this makes some sense to you all
Many thanks
Pedro
