JZ, you are in some fine country up there in Troy.
OKay, go to the sponsors page, link up with Hook and Hackle and click on the rods on the website. Check out the Pflueger 8/9 rods for about sixty bucks. Those will serve you well for pike fishing. Be prepared to have a spare, but you just might do okay with one rod. Remember that pike often fight sluggishly as though they are not even aware of being hooked. Then all of a sudden they take off and you will think you have a submarine on the end of your line. This is fantastic fun. I wish I had taken up flyfishing at your age. Good for you!
