Epic rods was terrific, both carbon and glass. I like the 686 and 888.
Not exactly small stream rods :)
I have an Epic 476 packlight still sitting on the bench waiting to be wrapped, From my test casts, it's a bit stiffer than some of the lighter glass rods.
Bryan,
It sounds like you are after a softer rod that will handle dries and small nymphs and get a nice bend with small fish. A glass 3-4wt sounds great
On the inexpensive but not cheap end of the spectrum, I would look at some of the Japanese glass. The Feelex II is nice.
The exchange rate is decent. right now and shipping from Japan often beats shipping from Florida.
The truly cheap glass rods can be good, but most are spigot ferrules with some quality control issues. I actually like spigot ferrules, but the cheap e-bay specials sometimes need some ferrule adjustment. It's not hard, but when I buy a new rod, I don't like to have to work on it.
There are some great deals if you want to build your own.
