I agree with Brian and Andrew. I bought a 7' 3wt rod for brookies and it just didn't fish all that well. No matter the type of cast you're making it just doesn't perform as well as longer rods in similar weights. And, your leader is constantly coming through the guides. For me, the shortest rod I will fish anymore is an 8'6" and no matter how brushy/small the stream it works just fine. I have an 8'6" 3wt sage and love it. Sold the 7' 3wt and haven't missed it one bit.
Good luck with the purchase!
