Thinking about getting a 3 wt set up to use on the south fork of the snoqualmie. 7' 6" or 8' would be ideal. I don't have a ton of money to spend to buy brand new. If anyone has a rod and reel they don't use and would like to sell please let me know. Thanks Jason

I have seen a lot of good reviews on this rod, I have the same reel on a 4wt traditional and like it. it would be reel hard to beat the price

That seems to cheap! I wonder if the rod is any good?

If you want to spend more but not a ton more consider the Redington CT (Classic Trout). Mighty fine rod at price that won't break the bank.

I have been looking at the Redington Classic Trout. The price is good!

See if you can find a place to cast one. I have a 2wt, it is a moderate action...I like it a lot. Tastes vary and casting strokes vary. I do love some of the fast action rods in my quiver, but I like the CT and bamboo and fiberglass and older slightly less fast graphites. If you demo one you will know if you like it or not. Hit any and every shop you can to test what they have on the rack. You'll find the one that feels right...or it will find you.

Read the reviews. On another board people swear by them, many saying they bought it because they didn't think they would use it much and then it becoming a favorite rod. In a short three weight you don't need a cannon just a well made rod capable of placing it where you want it.

If I didn't already have a four weight I would be buying one.

If you're got some budget, I have a Thomas & Thomas Baetis, 7.5ft #3.
It's a mint condition from the Heritage series from the mid 1990's.

look at the echo carbon... you can get it at 7'3" in a 2 weight or 6'6" in a 3 weight. go for the 2 weight its only 169.99
