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.

Finally, a rod whose real 'weight' is as advertised! I have had other graphite rods that said 5 wt. but actually measured 7 wt. This is a very nice rod and is definitely a very good value for the money.

Powell TiMax Fly Rod - Four-Piece
 
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.

Sweet rod for the money!!
By Tight Lines from Boston, MA on 05/10/2009
Pros:
Accurate Casting, Casts as well as my sage, Powerful even in wind
Best Uses:
Fly Fishing, Ocean Fishing
Describe Yourself:
Avid Fisher
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
This rod is an amazing bargain. I own a 9 wt. It casts beautifully even in stiff winds and has a great finish. The stripping guides are a little less strudy than I'd like but at this price, even if I had to replace them I'd be ahead of the game. Bought this rod as a backup to 2 much more expensive rods but find it casts almost as well as my primary rods.

Great rod for the money
By MarcusVerified Reviewer from North Carolina on 05/07/2009
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I have an older two piece, two tip Powell rod that cost over $400 twenty years ago. This new SSL rod casts just as nicely, finish and fittings of similar quality, has the packing advantages of a 4 piece and is less than 1/4 of the price of my old rod. How can you beat that?

Good Value
By DangriVerified Reviewer 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.
