The yellow rod is a 3 weight from bears den. It's a nice seven piece pack rod with a die cast click and pawl reel. Lined with a 2 weight double taper line, it is perfect for trips when you can't carry all your gear or want to just sneak off to check out that creek behind the hotel.
The second rod is my Steffen 4/5 weight or what I call the Switch. The 2.5 inch fighting butt allows spey type cast although motions need to be slowed down due to the fiberglass nature of the rod. It is uplined for shooting and has been a nice rod. If you are into fiberglass fly rods, then Steffen rods are hard to beat at multiple price points. The reel is a Martin LM 4/5 with a 5 wt forward weight line. The reel is a little light for the rod but this click and pawl reel is a nice reel. Some have equated this reel to the more expensive Orvis CFO and as a results has been label by some as the Poor Man's CFO. Regardless of price, this is a great light weight reel.
