I agree with Boyo... I have now tried a G, and an S3. The G was fun but I snag hooked 70% fish while nymphing. The S3 I didn't miss one. The G presented really soft and nice. Soon I will try 2 more SCS and G2. Also, don't forget the line. Charlie Reading in MO told me about Wolfe Triangle Taper.. MAN!!! that line rocks in the G and S3. Far better than my RIO which is now spooled up on a coffee jar for good.
