With 3 wt and under one option often over looked that I find very pleasing is a down locking reel seat that is available with some manufacturers. A high quality double taper line on a nice light reel with a down locker feels great. Every rod I have casted needs a certain length of line or weight out past the tip before it feels balanced but with a 3 wt set up like this that "balanced feeling" will cover a longer length of line with the down locker. Be nice if you could try one out as they used to be much more popular but have really faded in the last 15 or 20 years. My 3wt is a Thomas & Thomas. I am sure many will disagree but I would also stick to a 2 piece rod for 3wt and under.
