Fast Action but not durable By Trout Slayer from Talachulitna River, AK on 08/28/2008 Pros: Accurate Casting, Easy To Transport, Flexible Cons: Breaks Easily, Poor Construction Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The 4 piece 8 weight rod performed excellently on 5-15 pound silver, pink and chum salmon for 14 straight days in Alaska, but on day 15 the second section of the 4 piece rod split where the first section is inserted leaving the rod useless. Either the rod had some defects or its not very durable. A rod of this size and expense should last a lifetime not two weeks.
By George K from PA on 07/21/2008 Pros: Accurate Casting, Easy To Transport, Sensitive Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very good value-for-money at the closeout price. At full price there would be better options.
Great lightweight backpacker By Jose from So Cal on 07/11/2008 Pros: Accurate Casting, Easy To Transport, Good Tip Action, Sensitive Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This rod is great for backpacking. Perfect for small to medium water.
By vwh from mt on 07/08/2008 Pros: Accurate Casting, Easy To Transport, Good Tip Action, Sensitive Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The Tiboron and Tiboron II are excellent in 4 wt. 5 was good, too, but I broke mine and Powell does not repair this model. Instead, they sent their new model, which casts like a stick. Customer support is disappointing.
By Stoney from Eatonville, WA on 06/24/2008 Pros: Easy To Transport, Good Tip Action Best Uses: Fly Fishing, Large Fish, Throwing large flies Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Got the 10 weight to use as a salmon and bass rod - would be an okay saltwater rod for the budget minded - pleased with the performance - not necessarily a true fast action rod but does have plenty enough backbone to throw large flies -which was my hope - 4 piece construction is a real plus for transportability - cheap cardboard case that came with the rod not suited for this however.
By Float Tuber from Boston, MA on 06/22/2008 Pros: Accurate Casting, Good Tip Action Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is now my go-to trout rod (4 weight). Throws line a mile in a float tube. I haven't found a better rod for the money.
By Na from King, NC on 06/03/2008 Pros: Accurate Casting, Easy To Transport, Sensitive Best Uses: Fly Fishing, River Fishing, Small Fish Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Use on lakes and streams using popping bugs for brim and bass. Also use for local trout streams with wet and dry fly's
By Trout Master from Montana on 05/09/2008 Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Not as fast as I thought it would be. I bought 5 of these rods though from Sierra because you really can't beat the price. The 8 weight does not throw as far as I thought it would. The small 3 weight is really really nice. (The 6 foot 6 inch)
By AF Saint from Boston on 04/24/2008 Pros: Accurate Casting, Durable, Easy To Transport, Good Tip Action, Sensitive Best Uses: dedicated trout rod, Fly Fishing, River Fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a typically nice design from Powell. I own 4 of their rods and the TiMax 4 weight is a nice combination of mid taper strength and tip flexibility. You can throw some string with this rod but laying down tiny dry flies is nicely handled. A very good all-round trout rod. Well designed and well finished and consistent with Powell's reputation for making well thought out rods.
