The 9' 3 wt. is my 'go to' rod for most of my trout and bass fishing...I have four of them.

I built them all myself, though, so I can't recommend a particular rod brand.

But they are fun to fish with and will handle much more in the way of flies, fish, and fishing conditions than most would assume.

Good luck with your search, that's almost as much fun as using the rod.
