Powell TMX Fishing Fly Rod - 4-Piece, 9' 4wt

I purchased this rod when I got back into trout fishing after a long hiatus. I went with it to give me a decent 9 ft. 4WT in addition to my other rods. Having fished this whole past season with the TMX I have found that it is a good quality rod for a good price. It fishes well, it is a smooth and accurate, and handles fish well. I have cast dries, wets, large streamers, and heavily weighted nymph rigs. The only draw back is that the cork is of poor quality and a few of my reels won't seat as easily as the others.

Would not use on a small stream but works great on larger streams and rivers. Used it on the Chattooga and Tallulah Rivers and plan to use it out west next month.

Best bang for your buck. If you are looking for a slow casting rod with good action, I would recommend you try this rod . Great for stripping in buggers and nymphs. The slow action is very forgiving if you have a heavy hand fishing light tippets. Seeing my wife handle a 6 lber. with this rod, I couldn't wait to get my own!

The Powell TMX 4-piece nine-foot four weight is a fine rod. I'm fishing with it now in Yellowstone Park, and it's giving me everything I want. I fished it with size 20 baetis sparkle duns and size 6 salmonflies--and the rod handled it all.

Got this rod for Christmas and matched it up with a Redington Drift reel. Excellent combination!
