Does anyone have suggestions for a 3 wt rod and reel for around $300? I've never thrown anything lighter than a 5, but I'm looking at getting something to take to some mountain streams in the Smokies but also play with some smaller fish on some slightly larger water like Lower Mountain Fork. I'm a fan of all things TFO. I know that they have some 3wt Pro Series for $160, but don't know how the fast action on that rod would work on a 3wt.

Echo or blue halo. I'm a bit of a rod snob, but I love these two builders. Both make a fantastic fiberglass rod but Echo builds a solid little 7'6" carbon 3 wt that happens to be one of my all time favorites. If you can find an Orvis Access full flex 3wt, that is also a good one.

Obviously, go cast whatever you can get your hands on. There are a few TFO rods that are more moderate than the Pro series. Check with Green Trout fly shop, he should be able to hook you up.
