Fishpro... I own and have fished the predator series rods for 2 seasons now and the 10wt is a club, the 8wt is more then sufficent for any pike or bully for that matter. If you want a longer rod than the 8wt the 9 would suffice but the 10 is a pretty heavy stick.
Now for your question at hand, I use the 3800 series and I don't think it would be the ideal reel, they are gorgeous and work everyway you want them to but the 3800 series is delicate..... Redington Rise reels are awesome for pike and balance perfectly on the Predator, the rises have a rock solid drag and they take a beating, they will still work when you drop your reel in the boat. A few of my buddies use the rise as well for pike
