I love posts like this. The next 20 posts will list every model 9' 3wt rod made by every manufacturer that produces rods. Every post they will say how much they love their particular rod. The fact is not one post will anyone say they don't like a rod. If they do the next 10 posters will tell him how much they love theirs. Just go to a fly shop you like doing business with and get yourself a new rod. YOU WILL LIKE IT.
