    Hey guys, I'm looking at a new specific reel that only comes in 7.3:1, and is 30 inches per crank, could I use this for swimjigs, chatterbaits and spinnerbaits or should I just find a 6.3:1 instead, another question; what gear ratio should I use for belly weighted swimbaits like rage swimmers?? Thanks

    X2 for Powell

    Zillion for days,it casts much further than chronarch and is hard to backlash cause of the sv spool

    Look at Diawa's sv spool lineup, very hard to backlash while using light lures like a fluke and it bombs them as well, they have a tatula sv tw for 199 on tackle warehouse but you could find it cheaper, as for the rod I'd go with a medium power fast action like they all said

    Hey guys, looking to get a new reel in 280$ range it's down to 2 now the Shimano chronarch mgl or the lews tlm1h magnesium, the main thing I'm looking for is casting distance cause I am a pond bank angler and I need to reach it out there sometimes, if any of you guys could give me input it would help a lot, or if you suggest another reel in hat range that works too, currently on way to bass pro to see..

    Hey guys I have a Powell max3d in 6'8 mh extra fast and I've had it for about 4 months now and for some reason it has gone from a mh x fast to like a medium medium.. I baby my rod and take good care of it and I don't know how this happened, if you know what's wrong please tell me thanks:)

    I have a curado and once my reel made a grinding sound and it was the spool. Basically clean the crap out of it.. Clean the shafts and put a small drop of oil on them. Clean the bearing on the palm side of the reel and oil it even clean the outer part of the spool.. Tell me how it goes

    Theres two rods I would look into the Powell Max 3D (160$) which I am a bit biased too and the Diawa Tatula rod (150-170). They are both insanely light The Tatula being 3oz and incredibly sensitive. The Powell one would be the 7'2 MH Xtra Fast and the Tatula one would be the 7'2 Heavy Fast

    There are a couple of great rods out there for jerkbaits under 100$: Powell Inferno Jerkbait/Crank version (99$) Lews speed stick TP1 (99$) Dobyns fury its 110$ tho The lews lacks in sensitivity.. but is a great rod. The inferno is very sensitive and light. The fury is a tad better than the inferno just because of how balanced it is.. If i had to choose I had only 100$ would go with the Inferno but if I had 10 extra dollars I would go with the Fury..

    I have the Max 3D 683 and I absolutely love it for shoreline fishing. 80% of the time I fish shorelines and ponds, its the only rod I bring with me alot of times. The sensitivity is unreal and you can feel the bottom for those bottom contact lures like crazy. You can throw anything on it. Its rated for 3/4 oz but Ive thrown 2 oz swimbaits fine. You cant go wrong with either of the two but the 6'8 would be better for shoreline fishing.

    Hey guys im going to get a new rod, the Powell Max 3d mag bass 7'3 Heavy Xtra Fast action.. Do yall think this would be too much for pitching with braid(not flipping...). If so please tell me why.. Thanks
  13. bassinick
    hey man, between those two I would choose the micro magic.. ive fished the micro magic and held both, the micro magic being alot lighter and is very sensitive making it better for your finesse tactics. ive never felt the e6x sensitivity but they arbt known for it. i would recommend the e6x for more rugged bass fishing.. ill throw one out there.. the powell max 3d.. the only length in spinning they have is 7'1.. but they are incredibly sensitve and very light. But between the two i would choose the micro magic.
  14. bassinick
    oh ok thanks

    very true, read the review:) Question, do the sk2 not allow for more sensitivity, are the ecs a lot better??

    Powell Max 3D Review I purchased this rod at my local tackle shop for 160$, feels like I payed 200$ plus.. This rod is lighter than my crucials, carbonlites, st. croix mojo bass, and many more, same for sensitivity... this is by far my most sensitive rod, you feel everything, every bump of the bottom, and the smallest bites. Quick tip, a way to test the sensitivity of your rod is to tie your lure on, let some line out and close your eyes, have someone tap the line, and see if you can feel it. I can feel the slightest taps when I do this. I have the 6'8 Med Heavy, extra fast tip version, and I can throw virtually anything on it, swimbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs, Texas rigs and a bunch more. Don't worry about the extra fast tip, it can do anything your typical fast tip can do, if not better. It has 10 Fuji guides that are smaller than most guides but not near as small as micro guides. It loads up great, has great hooksetting power, has a great tip and is brutally tough. It is rated for 1/4-3/4 but I have thrown 1oz lures fine on it. I have this paired with the Shimano Curado I and its a beast, extremely light and well balanced. I am in love with this rod and would recommend it to anyone who wants a rod that excels at everything... If you have any questions please ask I'll be happy to answer them, Thanks Bassinick

    I'm sorry but you are dead wrong on Powell's being heavier than most.... I've had crucials, carbonlites, mojo bass and many more, the max3d is so much lighter than all of them.... the Powell's are imo the best rods you can get for u see 200$
  19. bassinick
