This rod has become our most popular 4-weight. The 8' 8" length and moderate action affords an extremely broad range of effectiveness, and yet the rod balances noticeably better than a 9' 4-weight. The G 884/3 feels lighter, and casts more accurately than others in its class. This rod doubles nicely as a small pocket water and tailwater nymphing rod.

| G 883/3, G 884/3, G 885/3: The G 883/3, G 884/3 and G 885/3 go everywhere with me. These mid-length rods respond magnificently to roll casting, which I personally do quite a bit. The 8' 8" length offers good accuracy like shorter rods and is also more than adequate for longer-than-you-should casts. I find these rods to have a surprising amount of horsepower when needed. I've landed some incredible fish on all of these rods and would recommend that everyone try them at some point. | ![]() |
