John;; 2 of my fly rods are 3 wt tfo rods;; tons of fun to!!  proably the most fun of all!!  in fact I have severl other fly rods;; 5 wts and 1 8 wt.  after using my 3 wt rod;; picking up a 5 wt seems like picking up a telephone pole!!  caught several really nice gills ; stripe ; catfish; and bass on my 3 wts to!!  and they have spoiled into using nothing else but a 3 wt!! I roll cast with my quill floats; and casting is easy!!
