That is my favorite all round rod throws 1-1/2oz to 3.5oz perfectly. Sweet spot on mine is 2.5oz.

I test casted both the 3-6 & 4-8. I didn't get as much time on the 4-8 between the cold and tape failing.

The 3-6 felt really nice. I have 2 other VTs - a 10' 1-3 and a 12' 2-4 with ~6" off the tip. A few years ago I was looking for some new rods. VTs were on the radar but I didn't go that way for several reason. With the benefit of hindsight - that's what I should have went with from the start.

I will probably letting go of some other stuff in the future.
