Also curious what has been seen regarding the ci4. Heard doesn't do it for me.

I like a jig fished painfully slow but I've also caught winter fish slow rolling a small spinnerbait.

I vote gift card too. I would take it as an impersonal gift if my girlfriend randomly picked out a bunch of tackle and hoped for the best. She supports my hobby but doesn't have a clue what i use.

I'll use a senko, hags tornado, roboworm, and sometimes a chigger craw.

They make a great product and you will probably like it with the heavier reel.

The lure weight rating is probably accurate however a 3/4 oz is the heaviest I throw in a football jig. The rod is tip heavy like the other Powells over 7' I found. The 7'3"s not too bad, but my 765 FLIP was just unbalanced as well as the football jig rod. The Powells were great mid to low level rods and if I don't sell the others ill just keep and use them. Great craftsmanship, pretty sensitivity, and decent weight. Honestly I used to fish veritas rods and although the craftsmanship was not so good the sensitivity for me was better than my Powells. I'm switching over to Dobyns champ extremes so that's not a fair comparison.

I'm selling all my Powells and had one. It's a good rod but no better than any other rod they sell.

I use a Dobyns 765 glass with a Revo Winch and it works great.

I like a glass rod for cranking. Dobyns 705 for square bills and lighter cranks, Dobyns 765 for deep cranks. Also have a Powell glass rod and it works fine too.

Weird. I noticed those prices on cabelas website too so I called to see when they'd be in stock and the lady told me they're no longer carrying them.
