Looking to add a small stream rod to the arsenal, but money's a little tight, so could anyone recommend a good rod in the 6'-7'6" length and 2-4wt. line class for $250 or less?

Real tough to find a short 5 wt like that on the market these days, I'd fall hard for like a 7 foot 6 weight with fast action. All the pro's have stuff like this and show off with it, but they have them specially made, and apparantly the market is too small for the manufacturers to produce them.

They don't make GL3's anymore. I have a 9' 5 wt, and I love it too. Though I don't think I could make something that expensive my small stream rod, I'd be too afraid to bust it. I want something I'm not afraid to beat on a bit. Small streams are dangerous places for rods.

can't believe gfen didn't say it yet, but a new eagle claw 7 1/2 foot would make a great small stream rod. and they cost 20 bucks!! I know some guys that use them on the shenandoah brookie streams and they love them. tough and cheap!!
