I've got an S3, I don't rate it much, the varnish is bubbling in places and the cork handle has cracked and come away at the top, I only used it for one season as a beginner. In hindsight I probably should have sent it back because it isn't fit for purpose, I don't buy airflo gear anymore (except sinking lines). On the plus side it does have quite a forgiving action if you're a beginner.

Have a look at the Aleka A3 rods just got one myself and they seem pretty good for the money.

There on sale for an intruductory price just now.
