I have an (IPC) avid 3wt, 7wt 9.5', and 9wt 9' and love them. For the $$$ I think they have a good action and another bonus is the lifetime warranty. I also recently bought a 9' 6wt pre-IPC blank that I am building now. It seems to me that the action is a slight bit slower than the IPC rods but I haven't had a chance to cast it yet.

I just got done wiggling the ipc 3wt, ipc 9wt, and pre-ipc 6wt and they seem pretty similar.
