best fly rod for smaller fish

[fishboy2]

hey thanks for the input guys. I have been researching the subject a lot, I know I want to run a 3-wt. I have never used anything lower than 5, But I am on this as low as it goes kick, the highest pound rating on any of my current spinning rods is ten ponds. and thats my back bone rod for fighting kitties. What should I expect from going from a 5 wt to a 3 wt? I am currently using a cheap scientific angler 5 wt. 3 pc. with a redington crosswater reel. I have really liked my reel. the rod is a cheapo replacement from a ex girlfriend gone mad( I was using a nice glass redington, but she grew angere one trip and smashed it in the car door) I really liked the feel of the glass when fighting in moving water, but in the mountains it seemed to be overkill.
One rod in particular I was looking at is the elkhorn ultralight. Though I have not heard much review on elkhorn fly rods. anyone know if thats a good rod for the price?
