I want to get a new rod for the mountains. I love slower actions. I would like a 2-3 weight short rod. It should be packable (backpacking), and strong. I fish mostly dry flies or subsurface flies. I have decided on fiberglass.

Now for the questions. I want a mcfarland, a lamiglass, or a steffan. They are relatively the same price. So, I would like to ask the members who uses what, and the opinions, downfalls, advantages,etc. of each rod. I will build the rod.

Thank you. i cant wait for the rod.
