Best 3wt rod?

[riverdog]

Sage 386-4 flight are discontinued about a year ago I believe but could be found at or below $300 since. Still same warranty. I prefer the 7 ft model because it'll function it very tight spaces but still easy to cast far enough for the Provo or Webe. I'll even use it on medium size streams in Idaho or Wyoming. If you're fishing while floating or plan on using it on the Snake or Green go with a longer rod for sure. I good 3 wt is more than enough to quickly land most fish into the mid-20's except on really big waters with strong currents. A cheapo 3 wt and you'll get destroyed by those fish most of the time. Before you get a 3 wt ask yourself when was the last time a trout in Utah took you a minute or more to land on a 5 wt? If it's easy to recall the answer wait until it becomes very hard to recall the answer. There is no sense in stressing trout needlessly.
