10ft 3wt

[flybugpa]

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:

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.

GLOBAL DORBER ROD ON ORDER, THANKS GEMROD AND THE REST OF THOSE OF YOU WHO RESPONDED. BEST, heinrich

Heinrich,

It's been a month and a half on the Global Dorber rod for me. They have the blank, but misplaced my personal info.

The Snowbee rod arrived today. It's a nice looking green blank with a very nice reel seat. Very smooth casting rod. Both the Snowbee and Global Dorber will be used for fishing the wee wets in the North Country tradition.

Good evening Gemrod,
Mate what would you like to know about turning that 3w 10foot rod into a fantastic light Trout Spey or Switch rod ?

It is a shame the rod blank is only a 2 pc item, and therefore the frieght charges to Australia would be over the moon, other wise I would have ordered one, a blank, before you posted !

Kind regards,
UB

Ron, the fella in the shop said 4-6 weeks, he also said he was working on two 4 weights, could one of them be yours? I ordered single foot guides, oversize tip, translucent wraps and alignment dots.
