Hey pike,
last year i bought an 'ugly stick light', 6.5 feet in length, medium. These are real nice rods, and i have used it with great satisfaction for pike. I got the baitcasting option and put a shimano calcutta 200 on it. The rod is great for pike fishing because it throw light and heavy baits, can be trolled with, and will not break if you hook a big one (It is an ugly stick). I would recommend the baitcasting, but i am no expert. I used spinning gear for pike for years, so if you are more comfortable with spinning, you could easily go with that.
