I have fished 5wt T3s for probbly 15+ days. Very nice rod.
I have a Trident TLS 2wt, and can't speak enough about it.
Ask your Friend if he/she will let you take it for a day fishing...Because no matter what anyone tells you, it is all personal pref.
See how it feels in your hands, see how it loads, see how it fits your casting style
Orivs makes a good product... and they stand behind it (it will ony cost you 25or30$ if you break it for any reason)
the T3 is made with top of the line reel seat and cork... so it has some style with the functionality
good luck... keep us posted
also... the rod is now on orvis.com for $310... so i personally wouldn't pay more than 175/200 for a used one tops
