Rod advice

[mike mac]

Has anybody had any experience of the Orvis Western 2 or Scierra IC3 rods? Been thinking about getting another wand in a smaller line size as current rod is rated 7/8 which is okay for the bows but not so much for brownies! Would like to keep rod as a 10 footer and would probaly go for a 5 rated one. Only thought of these rods as the weegie angling centre catalogue came in today and they are selling them. Any advice?

Interestingly scary thought that they were the same blanks and that the IC3 was better finished.
