These are probably my favorite shakey head worms, plus they're pretty cheap. The floating tail "dances" really well.

I've had my Powell 702c for about a week now and so far I love it. I have used it with weightless worms and 1/16th oz t-rigs. It is light, well balanced and very sensitive.

Obviously you can't go to any retail store and get a G-Blanks rod which is part of the reason I was interested in them. I do have a Kistler Magnesium which I love. Just wanted something different.

That's actually a very good question, I'm not sure why I'm so set on a Powell. I've heard nothing but good things about them and they are in my price range. I think I like the idea of having something that you can't go pick up at Academy, not that that is necessarily a good thing. Just one of those things that I've had stuck in my head and "have to have."

I'm normally not crazy about buying a rod sight unseen but I don't know of anyone in the Dallas area that carries Powells, however I think I am going to go ahead and order one from Tackle Warehouse. You guys have confirmed my impression that it is a great rod for the money. I will definitely put G-Blanks on my list of rods to get in the future. Thanks!!

Thanks for the input! I guess I will flip a coin

I'm looking for a med power casting rod to use with light texas rigs, weightless worms, shaky heads and other lighter tackle applications. I pretty much had my mind set on the Powell 702cef but have been reading good reviews on the G-Blanks rods. I would probably go with a 7' med/fast. I'm sure I can't go wrong either way but was wondering if anyone had any opinions or preference on these two rods. I also wanted to thank everyone for the wealth of information you all share on this site. I haven't really posted here before but visit daily. I have been fishing for 25+ years but I have learned alot of valuable information and new ideas from many of the posts here.

Thinking about getting the 6'8" ASR spinnerbait rod, anyone have any experience with these?
