3W or 4W Rod?

[Tarponjim]

Fly rods are very personal, and honestly most people can't tell the difference between a 3 weight and a 4 weight if you blindfolded them. I like 7 1/2 to 8 footers myself, and I often put a 3 wt. line on some of my four weights and a 4wt. line on some of my three weights. It just depends on what feels good that day. There are no rules. Since you have a 5, buy a 3. You will feel the difference between those two.
