I have a 7’6” 3 wt that I got on sale this last fall for $26.99. I fish small trout streams and panfish and it’s becoming my favorite fly rod to have handy in the truck

As the reviewer notes, it casts surprisingly well, much better than what one would expect from a $100 outfit. Punches waaaay above its price point. In the 5 weight, i like the 8'6" version, as it has a much lighter swing weight and feels 'quicker'. The 8 weight and the 4 weight are both awesome deals.

Before BassPro took over Cabela's the product management team at Cabela's had a pretty good grasp on their fly rod product mix. This combination is more than adequate, especially considering the price.

More than adequate? This is a crazy good performance per dollar deal. This rod casts as well as many rods multiple times its price. Yep, no warranty, but the rod is crazy inexpensive.

Had one for years. Its only OK. Not so bad for beginners but an upgrade is called for later as there are much better rods in an affordable price range. Echo Lifts are much much better.
