Hello 8128 owners,
Wanting some feedback from you on the Burkie 8128. I currently fish a TCX8119 for all my winter work in the PNW and bought a Asquith 13 footer as a back up— and really don’t care for it because it is quite softer than I now prefer. I now have really gravitated to the shorter rods that are fast, stout and progressive- rods that I can “pop” and feel the line just jump off the rod. I had my hands on my friends SAGE X 8120 and love it because I can launch line, nice strong tip, and lift with no issues. Finding a used 8120 has proven very difficult.
Soooo, I am considering another Burkie (I have 2 one of which is a 7134) and I am told the 8128 is a great WINTER rod. Ive heard from some that tell me its kinda like my 7134 which is NOT what I would consider a winter rod because it is waaayy to soft.....and...I cant rip it like I can with a TCX Switch or the X.
Is the 8128 all that different from the 7134?
Cheers,
