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

That BVK is a nice rod -- I've casted one and thought it was very nice for the price.  I kind of feel like you almost can't go wrong with graphite rods in the $150-300 range.  Most companies are making good stuff it seems like to me.  The rest of it is just "you".

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.
