This year Cabelas brought out a line of glass rods called the CGR (custom glass rod) to commemorate their 50th anniversary. At the price they were asking I was pretty sure they were a bunch of C _ _ _. I was wrong. I purchased both a 5'9" 3 wt and a 6'6" 4wt. Both rods are 3 piece, have excellent hardware, and a nice finish. That being said, the 3wt is a little too limber for my taste and it's very easy to overpower the cast. On the other hand, the 4wt seems to be just right. I have a Cortland Sylk WF 4 on the 4wt and it handles it nicely. Be aware, you really have to slow your casting strike down with these rods, but for small streams and small to medium fish, they're great rods for the price
