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

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.
