Please DONT try it...the rod is way too small...the reel that will fit on the rod wont hold enough line and backing...also it is very bad for the fish to be played to literal exhaustion ensuring it will die one way or the other...

ROFL, i WAS Just thinking about that, hahahaha, nice!

nice, vlap your correct!

Arties are best

It would be tough to throw any sizeable saltwater fly with a 3wt.  I wouldnt recommend it... especially if you are fishing a beach with some chop or wind!!!  If you are fishing around the mangroves, your probably going to end up breaking your rod trying to stop any sizeable snook from taking you into the trees.  Sure, you can point directly at the fish and grab the spool, but if there are any obstructions in the path the fish is running and it gets your $50 flyline rubbing up against a rough surface or worse, around a mangrove shoot, its one costly mistake.  I have been fly fishing in Hells Bay for the past year or so and there have been some big snook I have hooked that I even had trouble dealing with on my 8wt.
