CF Burkheimer Vintage Build Spey Rod 8134-4 – Your Premium Fishing Gear Store Rods Lines Baits Accessories^ Hot

Burkheimer designs rods with forgiving actions and loads of feel. “Feel” might seem like an esoteric thing, but its the tactile expression of the soul of a rod. Rods with feel enhance an anglers performance and enjoyment and those things arent just the domain of guides or instructors. Talk to us about these rods and you may hear us describe them as having grunt, or whump or hooahh. Thats the Burkie feel, and youll feel it too.

The Burkheimer 8134-4 is the sexiest spey rod we sell. An weight 8-weight spey rod for steelhead, is the equivalent of a 6wt for trout. So, if you are looking for a spey rod to throw heavy flies and sink tips for big steelhead this is your stick.

We recommend a 550-575 grain Skagit shooting head for this rod. Skagit style is your line for winter fishing, heavy flies and fast sinking tips.

If you are fishing more on the surface, you should line this rod up with a Scandinavian style head. We like 480 grain Rio Scandi head.
