By Fishalot from Ozark Missouri on 09/23/2009 Pros: Accurate Casting, Good Tip Action, Sensitive Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Love this rod. I think I paid about $100 for it on here. What a bargain. Mid flex which I like. Not super fast but good enough for the 5o foot reach I need.

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 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.
