I don't fish bags but I imagine so, I use 3.5oz leads & it doesn't feel too much, would happily use a 4oz lead if there was one lying about in my bag for example

I had a similar dilemma in choosing between the 3lb or 3.25lb rods as I also tend to prefer lighter rods. On the recommendation of the shop I went for the 3.25lb rods.
I have had a couple of short sessions so far and the only thing to show is a coot and some extreme lumps of weed, both of which the rod handled with ease
No regrets so far and happy with my choice of the 3.25lb test curve rods.

Thanks chaps might go for the 3.25's just goes against everything in my head for shorter heavier rods though. Was worried about my 9 foot 2.75 scopes as they felt really pokey but had fish from 13 to 43 on them and they had a lovely action. So
might give the 3.25's a try (although am also tempted by chiltern rods).

Ultimate Bionic extendables also get good reviews and are apparantly the same blank that Cotswold rods use for their blanks

I've got the 2 x 3.25's of the original ones and also picked up a 3.5 recently as they were being sold off cheap due to the new ones. There is hardly any difference in the tip, the extra power is further down the rod, I would expect the new ones to be similar.
