By Mike from Hope Valley, Ca on 09/05/2009 Pros: Inexpensive lightweight Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this rod in small sierra/tahoe streams. The bottom line is it catches fish. It is lightweight, with good action, makes short/medium casts with ease. I was skeptical that the low cost would mean low quality . . . no way. The only problem I've had is the locking nut on the reel set seems to loosen as the day goes on. I just have to keep an eye on it. Images shared by: Mike

By Nate Lindy from Michigan on 07/17/2009 Pros: Accurate, Great starter, Light flexible Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: When i first bought this fly rod i was skeptical. I've used it at the Smokey Mts. and many rivers in Michigan. It is light and inexpensive rod that works great. I am no longer skeptical. This is the best starter rod you can have!
By Dangri from Arkansas on 05/04/2009 Pros: Appears to be well built, This rod is very light Cons: Made in China, Unattractive reel seat Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I used this and was impressed with it's lightness and smooth silky feel. I have several Powell rods and they are my go to rods over my Orvis and Sage rods. The only thing I don't like is the ugly wood reel seat. I am not sure what type of wood it is but it is not very attractive. My other Powell rods were made in the U.S. but this one was made in China.
