Looking at these in the 3lb TC, don't often fish beyond 100 yards, use pva bags quite a bit. Prefer to play fish rather than guide them in on stiff rods. I can see the 3.25 gets more votes but who uses the 3s?

I've got them in the 3's, rarely cast over 100 yards like yourself, good through action rod to play fish with. I've previously had 3.25 and 2.75 tc rods, but for me personally i prefer the 3lb t/c

100 yds is not far and shouldn't be the benchmark for 3.25 tc rods. My 3lb Hutchinson Dreammakers will easily do 100 yds. If you need to cast heavy leads in wind, or heavy pva bags then you need heavier tc rods otherwise. Look at your technique.

Good evening guys,

I am talking about the mk1 Aircurves now, but can someone please tell me how the 3lb version differs from the 3,25 lbs version? I currently have the 3,25 lbs but I think about buying a lighter set extra. I know the Torrix in 3 lbs had a faster action that the 3,25 lbs and I wondered if that also applies to the Aircurve?

Thanks!

Honestly, if I were fishing mainly smaller waters and only required a maximum range of up to around 100yds I'd be looking at rods with a 2 3/4lb tc.. Ballistas from the 90's would be perfectly capable.

I have the aircurves in 3.25, the mark 2 are exactly the same blank, just cosmetics have changed.
Decent rods with a nice action, they do bend.
But they are v much a compromise rod, if your fishing mostly at 80yards + I would get the 3.5, or look elsewhere for another rod.

Thanks for your input guys. I appreciate it. (I tried the Ballista's but Harrison isn't my brand, sorry)
