I've started a casual search for a 15' 8wt spey rod. I would appreciate some help with options from members on here. This is not to fish skagits, but instead to throw lazy long belly lines.
My current options are:
Sage 8150 - Probably my number one choice, rarely come up for sale though, especially here in the UK.
CND Solstice 15'2" - Has caught my eye for some time, however the demise of any dealer that I am aware of poses significant limitations, especially from a manufacturer backup perspective.
B&W Powerlite 15' 7/9 - good reviews and a definite option
Beyond that my ideas are drying up. Unfortunately the likes of Meiser and Burkheimer are out of range due to budget limitations.
I have heard of 15' 8wt rods by Echo and TFO but know very little about them.
Any guidance on these and other options gratefully received.
