    So I recently got the Powell Max 3D 723 as an all purpose rod, I took it out the other day using 12lb Sniper and I can safely say that this is probably one of the most sensitive rods that I own! I was just hitting up the local city park lake with a Seibert Dredge Brush jig and a Rage Tail Craw trailer (one rod, one jig) to get a feel for the rod. Needless to say, I was feeling the bottom composition of the lake, weeds, sticks, rocks, etc. and was amazed at the sensitivity! I ended up getting bit while working the jig around a small rock pile and felt the bass thump the jig (it actually felt like it was chewing it...) I went to set the hook and started to reel him in and his head popped out of the water and my jig came unbuttoned (probably my fault for not setting the hook hard enough)... But it felt like a good fish and it was pulling drag. I was upset that I lost the fish, but was also in awe of how sensitive the rod was. Sorry, I had to tell a little story to set up my question... What would be a good all purpose line that I could use with this rod? I will be throwing jigs, flukes, T-rigs, weightless soft plastics, traps, and the occasional top water. I normally use Sunline Sniper 12-14lb but for top water I know fluoro is not recommended. I appreciate all the suggestions you guys may have.

    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
