Still loving my 883/3 and 845/5 from Hunters in New Boston NH. Late 80's or early 90's G series The #3 is just a spectacular do must everything rod and the #5 is a mini-cannon. Fish soft hackles, nymphs, dries in close or medium distance, stack mend or upstream mend, this 3 wt rod does it. The 5 weight? Bang the bank with hoppers or larger dries, throw streamers, of a problem. They are both pretty line specific though the 5 handles 4 wt and 6 wt Wulff TT as if they were designed for each other. Says a lot about these Scott rods that this thread stretchs out over 10 years and it's biased toward their graphite series.
