Yellowstone Angler's 2014 shootout 8 weight rods

Yes, here we go again: Yellowstone Angler's yearly shootout. This time they are looking at 8 weight rods.

The usual suspects are in the top rankings.
The winner is the G. Loomis' butt ugly NRX again. Surprisingly the Orvis Helios 2 did very well and ended second.

What did surprise me is that the Sage Method didn't do as good as I expected. Probably what I was afraid of: too damn stiff. Another surprise was the Hardy rod. As George says “it sucks!..”
