The 3 wts are fine if you want little fish. Just remember though th if you are pond fishing there is a good chance for some 5 lb plus bass being there . most ponds have cat tails and submerged snags so being able to apply some pressure is not a bad thing. I use to use a glass fenwick 7 wt but now have a 81/2 ft 6 wt Using 3 wt leaders to throw # 6&8 bugs as well as wooly buggers hoppers and muddlers
