Comments:
this is my second review of this rod. I bought the 6wt first and after using it in couple of outings i bought the 5wt. they are both unbelievable rods. I have not seen anything close in this price range or anything under five hundred dollars that performs like these rods. very smooth casting, accurate, nice taper (one of the best I have found), good for delicate presentation, creates tight loops. Strong backbone and fast action makes line management easy. I have caught several atlantic salmon (8-12 lb range) with my 6 weight rod. I always love how the rods cast. especially during the windy condition. It punches through the wind very well and lands the fly where I want it. overall a great buy. wish I had bought another 6 weight as a back up. Cause, I would want to use this rod for along long time. but Powell discontinued this model. I wish I had this rod in all different weights I need - 4 wt, 5 wt, 6 wt and 8wt. that says it all. this is my favorite rod period. and, I have a couple of sage rods and the new Orvis rod to compare with the Powell.

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 GangtokVerified Reviewer 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
Best Uses:
Fly Fishing
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.

I use my 6 wt Ti Max for a variety of fishing and conditions from the surf to the bay. It is a pleasure to cast and I can do so all day without fatigue. Wonderfully balanced and sensitive. It is one of my favorite rods. The graphite reel seat is well suited for salt water and looks great. Would definitely buy another.
