TFO BVK 8tw 10 feet for Salmon River

[drumik]

I started looking a new rod for upcoming Salmon Season. (I'll give away my FLI 8wt to my friend)

This rod will be primary used for Salmon (Spey for steelheads)

Does anybody had any experience with BVK in 8wt? I want to get 10 feet for easier mending

I don't have any intention to Chuck and Duck (heavy fly & mend,mend and mend again)

Thanks
