As to roll casting...It is a little wimpy roll casting a WF 3wt. I actually have uplined to a 4WT Double taper and really like the result. The upline does put a bit more load into the rod... but I use it for small streams mostly and at distances under 30 feet the rod does guite well with the DT both in roll and backcast. I use the rod quite a bit on the stockers at our tailwater and have no problem with either line from 30-40-even 50 feet.
Hope this helps!
