Does anyone know anything about the Scott F 6'6" 2wt. 3 pc. fiberglass rod?
Maybe, how does it compare to the Diamondglass 6'6" 3wt. 2 pc.?

2wt. vs. 3wt? That'd be like comparing tequila to beer. My advice; grab a Diamondglass in the #3 or #4. You can readily find them new or mint for under $200. Fish it. Keep it if you like it. Sell it if you don't like it. If it's "clean" when you sell it, you won't lose out by much if anything on the deal. More advise; don't mix tequila with beer.

scud dog,
I think that's good advice. Thanks! Although, you lost me on the tequila and beer analogy. What did you mean by that? Rod |

Both rods are good, but very different in weight and feel. The only thing a Scott F-touch and D'glass have in common is you can fish with them. I'll also bet you a tequila chaser that more guys on this board would prefer fishing a D'glass over the F-touch. The Scotts are fairly fast and stiff as far as glass goes. They're not for everyone.
