Hello all, I am new to the forum. I have been spey fishing for a few years now and really enjoy it. I have been fishing a 12,6 Amundsen Wind Warrior 7/8. I now feel it is time to upgrade but I want a rod for life and feel from my research a Burkheimer is the way to go.
I cannot afford to have a huge arsenal of different rods so I am looking for advice on which Burkie I should choose. I know I want a 8wt between 13-14.5', 3 or 4 piece doesn't matter to me.
My home water is the Vedder River, but I want something that is versatile enough to do the Thompson, Bulkley, and Skeena as I fish them every year also. I know the latter 3 rivers are much bigger and produce larger fish then the Vedder, so I dont mind fishing the vedder with a slightly stronger rod to accommodate the other 3. 100% of my fishing will be Steelhead with it. Thank you in advance and am really enjoying my reading on the forum.
