Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Rod Recommendations - best value 8-weight

I'd recommend the Sage VXP in 8wt - looks like the 8wt is on sale for ~$265 shipped at Cabela's right now.  Hard to beat that for a new sage with warranty.

BVK is another great TFO rod.  I am not sure it is for everyone and takes a bit of getting used to, but I love my 9wt (I paid $180 for it new).

Just another vote for the TFO BVK 8 wt.

Cheap and clearly as good or better than $800 rods, according to my casting and also the rod shootout by Yellowstone fly shop that someone else referred to.

Shows again the value of this forum for getting real time unbiased advice.
