3 wt
I am no expert on 3 wt rods...but I do know a thing or two about catching trout!
I use a 4 wt. I have some high end rods (Powell, Sage, Winston) but I usually find I am just as happy with my St.Croix Imperials as anything. I often have to bushwhack to fish streams and do worry somewhat about breaking the high buck stuff. St. Croix Imperial has a lifetime no fault warranty, can find them on sale for about 160-170 CDN, plus they are made in the USA. You can get Chinese made stuff for the same price if you like.
My biggest fish on the 4 wt is a 14 lb bull trout- which I will admit was way too heavy for that rod.
That is my nickel's worth.
