Just got an echo carbon 5 weight for x-mas. Good to see you can flex the hell outta them before they break. I don't have the understanding of how far you can flex a rod before it breaks. Can even fast action 8 weights like cabela's LST flex this much before snapping?
I own both the #3 and #5 and 80% of the time I reach for the #3. The sensitivity of strike detection while nymphing is what makes it desirable. The #3 handles trout up to 20 inches in fast moving water without any trouble for me. I have had only two fish - out of maybe 150 - that bent it over to the point that it made it difficult to get them to the net. It isn't the acrobatic ones... it's those lunkers that keep their nose glued to the bottom and require extra torque to get to the surface.
the broken section of the rod spring back at him and nails his sack lol
