OMG this is really tempting. I have a 4wt Allen Compass rod (lower end but still nice) and a couple 8wts. I was looking for a 6wt eventually but a 5wt is tempting. Sigh...

9 ft. 6 wt 4-piece isn't too bad @ $101.44

I have one of the 9 ft 8 wt. that I use for striper. It's a real nice rod.

This has been on CCC's top price drops for months. Eventually enough people will buy one that it will go back to regular price.

I don't fly fish, so it's useless to me, but seems like a steal for any decent rod at that length.

Yeah, I've been watching them for a while. Enough of them dropped under ~$100 now that there was a reasonable selection so figured it was worth posting.

I'm looking for a rod (and reel) for small mountain streams. I currently have a 5 wt that would be too big. I'm thinking the 7'6" 3 wt might be best? It's the lowest weight available. The Fenwick site doesn't have a 7"6" World Class rod though. Only 7' and 8' in lengths. I wonder if this is a typo.

WCF763-4 is the model number. Search for that and you should find the 7'6" 3wt shown elsewhere. Fenwick will take discontinued models off of its site sometimes. I've seen that when looking for other of their rods in the past.

How much would a comparable reel be?

Really depends on your budget. You could get something as low as $50~ (Okuma SLV) to several hundreds of dollars (Sage, Galvan, etc).

Well, I gave in on the 5wt 6-piece, even though I already have two 5wts. I wanted a travel rod to keep in my Jeep anyway.

I was hoping to get a smaller weight for small streams but it cost more. Just gotta find a balanced reel now. The only problem when I don't buy combos.

FYI: Price is now down to $76.92

Do you know if there are any fly reels that pair best with a Fenwick rod? I purchased an Orvis combo and a Martin combo but never had to buy a fly rod & reel separately before.
I did notice that the Fenwick combos sold on Amazon are paired with Pflueger? Not sure if they are best suited though.

It's more preference and budget than anything. Hard to say what pairs best. It's more subjective about what feels best in your hands.

You might re-consider the thought that the 5 wt is too big for small mountain streams. I almost exclusively fish very tight, small streams in the Appalachians and pretty much always use a 9' 5 wt. Smaller rods can be fun for sure, but aren't usually a necessity.
