So I'm looking at getting the ambush triangle taper for my 8 weight to chuck streamers in the Platte and for steelhead. Will I need poly leaders for this line to cast properly, or will I be able to put a mono leader on if I want to say, skate dries or fish shallow?

You'll be happiest with a polyleader - the line itself is just over 20' and the polyleaders help smooth the turnover a bit.

I've used a mono leader for both my 5wt and 8wt ambush without any issues.

I've used poly leaders, furled leaders and heavy mono. All get the job done.

Awesome, thanks yous guys.

All will work. If you want to use mono I'd lean toward the wulff swt cold. It's about thirty feet of head and almost as powerful and way smoother with mono
