I was thinking about picking up the practice Redington form game rod and attaching the 3wt okuma reel I just ordered with ice fishing reel bands. Only want to target the small bluegill in my local city pond. Needed a break from my Japanese keiryu and tenkara rods.
Bass proshops makes a 3wt 5'9" cgr that sounds perfect for what you want its glass it's runs a about a 100 bucks and is a very solid rod
