By Bonefish Bob from North GA Mountains on 06/30/2009 Pros: Accurate Casting, Durable, Easy To Transport, Good Tip Action, Light, Low Profile, Sensitive Best Uses: Fly Fishing, Ocean Fishing, River Fishing, Small Fish Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Been fishing with Powell rods since the days before Chuck Schwab wrangled the company from the Powell family. Have always appreciated these rods and this TiMax, even though they are now made in China, is no different. I actually like the TiMax series better than the Tiboron or Edge which were both a grade up and quite a bit more expensive. I fish well over a 100 days a year with many of the top of the line rods from Sage, Scott, T&T and others. In many regards this TiMax compares with rods costing 5 to 6 times as much. At this price I had to buy 5 just for back up and to have on hand for friends that are new to the sport. I guess the best recommendation came from a friend that had just spent $800 on a rod from one of the well known high end companies. He cast one the TiMax 5wts and without hesitation immediately ordered one.
Quality rod. Great price. Great action By Basecamp Gangtok from Northeastern USA on 05/26/2009 Pros: Accurate Casting, Easy To Transport, Good Tip Action, Great for short casts, Quality construction, Sensitive Cons: Very low quality cork Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great rod, especially at STP price. I have always admired Powell products. This one is no different. Great quality and craftsmanship almost every part of the rod. Except, the cork. Powell used poor quality cork on this rod. I have seen better cork on many rod that cost half (MSRP). Cork started falling apart after only a few fishing trips.
Anyway, over all its great quality rod in terms of action, casting distance and accuracy. I bought two in 5 and 6 wt. Powell covers this rod under their "limited life time warranty". So, if the cork or any other parts fail, you can get a replacement for a reasonable shipping and handling cost.
