I have cast a new rod recently and think you might want to give it a
cast or two before you decide. The Temple Fork Finesse line of rods are
just beginning to make it to the shops. I have cast a 7 foot 9 inch 3
weight four piece rod a couple of times in the past couple of weeks. It
is made in weights from 2 to 5 and it is slow enough that I like it a
lot.
