Length: 13' 4"     Line: 8     Pieces: 4

Fast action spey rod.  This is a longer brother to the 8129-4. This "Power-Rod" is a favorite stick for Kings in Alaska and winter steelhead in the Pacific Northwest. Long casts come surprisingly easy with minimum effort. George Cook says he likes a Rio 550 Skagit for this rod the best. Some casters like a 540-grain Airflo Skagit Compact even better. I liked the feel of this rod better when it is loaded deeper, so a 570-grain Skagit Compact or a 575-grain Skagit Flight feels better to me.  This combination generates an incredible burst of energy at the end of the cast. I have this rod rigged in the boat with 12'-14' of T-17 for fishing big flies in deeper water.
