I love the three weight. I bought a Griggs 6' 3 weight for small stream fishing. It only cost 35 dollars. It is very specialized but I think it is perfect for poking around in the willows and making precise, short, light casts.
I like it so much I got three of them for each of my fishing age kids...well now we are down to two of them.[:p] Since you aren't casting much line, you don't need an expensive one. I bought an okuma reel and a walmart scientific anglers line for it. All together it was about a $65 dollar set up.
I guess the downside is if you do catch a bigger harder fighter than you intend to you can snap the rod like my son did.
