Does anyone know of a short (6'6" or abouts) rod or blank that comes in 3wt or less and 5 or more pieces and is soft or slow in action?

I am looking for a small, short rod I can fish small streams, brooks and ponds I happen upon while hiking and camping the adirondacks. Most casting will be under 25ft with substaintial bank growth and overhead cover. I would like this rod to pack small (under 16") to fit in my pack. Also I would like to have the compleated rod be around $100 or less. This will be a bang around rod, frequently hitting branches and trees and if it breaks I don't want to worry about it.

I've considered the Winston LT 3wt but at $700 it wouldn't get used enough to justify the price at this point. I have an Orvis 3wt superfine already and use that whenever I know I am going fishing, but it is a 7'6" 2 piece and tough to pack when I'm not sure if I will be fishing or not.

Any suggestions are most appreciated.
