Strength:
Light weight, soft feel, nice color. Wonderful soft feel for a small creek rod. I have the 7'9" 3 piece. Casts well with a 3 or 4 weight line. The 7'6" IBIS was too fast for my taste when it comes to small east creeks. Customer Service See my review of the 8'6" 4 weight Similar Products Used: UFT864 Winston IBIS Sage discovery series |

Strength:
Quite fast, casts well with a 4 weight line, good distance for a 3 weight rod.
Weakness:
none This rod is extremely responsive. It is excellent whether nymphing or dry fly fishing. The ease at which it allows you to pick up and cast out again with minimal effort is outstanding. It is a pleasure to fish with. Customer Service They have a good reputation, but I've never used it. Similar Products Used: I've tried several similar rods. |

Strength:
This rod provides both accuracy and sensitivity with more than enough reserve power to meet most onstream requirements. Top performance standards at a very reasonable price. Rod finish is very complimentary.
Weakness:
None One of those hard " to leave at home" type of rods. Performance plus in all respects. Light weight, silky-smooth, responsive and delivers delicate presentations within all ranges. My UF803 is more than ideal for small fly fishing and handles the requirements of light tippets very well. Excellent for windy conditions. One of the nicest features is that I am able to cover the fly range for a full day''s fishing without changing rods or fussing. This rod has no problem with handling anything within it''s range from weighted nymphs, streamers, hoppers or dries. It will soon dispel any apprehensions you may have of it''s performance for close in work. Overall, this is an absolute joy to fish with and I would highly recommend this rod to anyone Customer Service Not required to date Similar Products Used: Sage;Winston;Loomis |

Strength:
Value, feel, performance
Weakness:
I''''d like to see a screw-based reelseat, rather than the double slip ring. This is a great rod. If you''''re looking for a fast(ish) 3 weight, this is your rod. I have the three piece version and while packing small, it delivers big. It has a nice feel in close, but can cast as far as anybody ought to throw a three weight. It''''s a great rod for dries, but can handle some medium/light nymphs and some of the lighter streamers. And you can''''t beat the value for 250 bucks it''''s one of the better three weights regardless of price Customer Service Not used Similar Products Used: Sage, Winston |

Strength:
Strong player, caster, and handler
Weakness:
So good looking that I don''t want to get it dirty, or even wet The rods are great! It casts wonderfully with minimal effort, and loads wonderfully. The backbone is great and strong, something to look for when fishing larger western rivers. But, since I also fish smaller creeks and streams, the size if wonderful and the action is great. All fish play well. Similar Products Used: None |
