Hi Casey,

I don't have a 9' 3 wt., but I do have an 8' 9" 3 wt. It is a wonderful rod for bluegill fishing in ponds. Now living in the Texas panhandle, I don't get to use it very often because we have a lot of wind (not good for a 3 wt.) and with the drought we don't have much water (not good for fishing of any kind.)

However, when I get a chance to use the rod, it is joy to fish. For pond fishing, even I, your basic heavy handed hack fly caster, can lay the line down on the water with a gentle touch. Wonderful rod, my 8' 9" 3 wt.

Regards,

Gandolf
