my question would be who makes a 10 ft 3 wt besides Greys?
Dan Craft has a 10' 3# in his FT line.
I believe Global Dorber makes a 10 foot 3 weight. I know they have a 10 foot 4 wgt as I have one on order.
There is info here on a 10'4", 3wt here:

thanks,
Kind regards,

PlanetTrout,
I checked the prices of those rods and they seemed a might steep to me. For a 10'4" 3 wgt it's 542 Euros ($734.59) and for a 10'6" 4 wgt it's 551 Euros ($746.94). I know Italy has some fine rod fisihing gear manufacturers, but that is really too high for me.

Not sure if Global Dorber makes a finished 10' 3#, but they have 10' blanks for 1,2,3,4 #s -

If you'd be interested, give them a call, they may custom wrap one for you. Of course wrapping one yourself is pretty easy, and you can save a few bucks.
Thanks to all that responded!
How are you intending to use this rod? Highstick nymphing? Just curious....
Mercado,
I have been using 10ft. rods since 1985 when the Scott Rod Co. made up a 10', 5wt., G series for me ( yes, they USED to do that). I use them primarily for nymph fishing and for lake fishing from a tube or boat. I like them in a 6wt. for fishing big rivers and big flies like the Madison in Montana. I like the way they mend line and Davy Wotton, no slouch, swears by 'em. The guy who got me into Scott Rods and longer rods was a guy named George Odier... George worked with Chuck Fothergill in Aspen, CO..Chuck developed " high stick nymphing" although, he ( Lefty coined this) called it the "out-trigger technique"...

More on Chuck and George and a fly pattern that has taken MORE than it's fair share of fish for me...

The guys in Europe use them to a much larger extent than we do here. Gatti also makes longer rods and has a US distributor in Montana...they - are nice rods too!!!
