There is a long way between $250 and owning a T3. While there are certainly
excellent rods under $200 which are just as efficient at catching fish as
rods in the $500 plus range, it seems to me a bit much to suggest that there
are many (any?) sub $300 rods with the warranty, fit and finish of many $500
plus models.

If you look around, you can find some really great deals on flyrods.
For an example, Ramsey Outdoor in NJ, had a blowout sale on all of
their T&T rods. Already a proud owner of an 8 1/2ft 5wt Vector for
625.00, I couldn't pass up on purchasing two more Vectors for $400.00
a piece! My dad also picked up a 9ft 5wt Vector for $100.00. It was
so cheap because it has the word Demo nicely scripted on the side of
the rod. The rod still had the plastic on the cork!

Keep your eye's peeled, you never know what you may run into. The Key
factor when purchasing a rod is to make sure you try a bunch of
different rods. Everyone has a different casting style. Because I
don't care for the T-3 doesn't mean you don't have to care for it.
Try each rod, purchase the one that best meets your style of casting.

If you're new to casting, I recommend taking a casting lesson from a
professional before making the expensive purchase.

Don't let anyone sell you a rod because they think it's the next best
thing since sliced bread.

- Good luck with your purchase!
