The CF Burkheimer 8128-4, 12'8" 8wt Weight Spey Rod is my go to rod for Winter Steelhead.
I've fish this rod a lot for winter steelhead, mostly when I have high water. I use a 560 SA Skagit Extreme, and 10 ft of t12 or t14
Double spey, Perry Pokes, Snap T's right or left handed did them all easily. The cast were in the 70 to 90' range no need to cast long here.
We will use this rod most of the winter and post updates as we go.
Come by and drop in and visit us at Lost Creek Fly Shop. Demos can be setup for you to cast the rods on the Cowlitz river and discover for yourself what a Burkheimer rod can do you for.
