I had a chance to cast one of the 8 weights last night and liked it, especially for the price. Definitely a step up from the Launch (and they aren't ugly!) maybe better than the Flight, definitely lighter in hand. Now, I'm in the market for a 3 weight, these rods aren't available locally so I can cast one, I'd have to order it. Anyone have any experience with these rods in any of the freshwater configurations? What are your thoughts? Thanks!
