Hey gang, need an inexpensive 3 wt. for a relative and wondered how you would subjectively differentiate these two blanks for those that have built on both. I read the CSS data and not much eye-opening there, so what's your opinion on these two blanks?, any differences other than 3"? As always thanks for your input.

I think the 7' 9" is a better dry fly blank. They are not that far off the RX7 blanks in performance. I don't think the new blanks are as powerful as the 2003 DB blanks were in these lengths.

Check the CCS data site to see how the numbers are . Moderate -fast should be nice. Light guides or even wire guides. I'm not crazy about the blue color. Maybe just the clear finish.

Thanks Spencer and Bill, I just finished two RX7 7'9" 3 wt. and would say it seems like the ccs data suggests, in that they both could easily handle a higher line weight. with no problem. Looking for something maybe a little less powerful. Thanks again.

What about there 2 WT with a 3 WT line ?? More then one way to skin this cat
