Hey Rkey,
I just picked up a very nice rod from "Sierra Classic" custom rods. They built me a super nice lightweight little 5'6" 3wt, in a two piece. It's awesome. I'll admit that it isn't for the longer casts my longer rods make, I'm very happy with it thus far. The quality is great, the fit and finish are top notch, and It just feels very accurate to me. This might sound silly, but it just seems to put the fly wherever I try to throw it. I was a little skeptical at first, but now I'm glad I chose this size, it's going to be one of my favorite rods this spring and summer. You really should check out their site, oh, and there's another company that sponsors this site, called "Global Dorber", they make nice short rods too from what I've been told.
