Powell Vs Mossyback

[pondassasin]

I'm looking to get either a Powell Max 734C or a Mossyback 854. I'm gonna be using for 3/8-3/4 jigs, plastics, basically an all around heavier rod. Would the Mossyback have enough power and us it worth the extra $$.

I've never used a Mossyback,

But I have absolutely NO reason to buy anything more expensive than a Powell Max.

They are simply put, AMAZING rod. They're so light and crisp, balance is great, and the sensitivity is more than I need.

Check out my review of them I did a while back, here : http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/104608-powell-max-review/

I cant weigh in on the powell bc ive never tried one, But I do have the mossyback 7'5 heavy and I love it. use it all day long countless pitches and flips and its very comfortable. No tip heaviness like a lot of other rods its length, I dont have a lot of rods in that price range so spending the money on it took a lot of thought but I can honestly say I dont regret it at all. I liked the mossyback so much I just bought a mossyback spinning rod for senkos.

If you're looking to primarily throw 3/8 to 3/4 oz jigs, and are considering the 734C Max, you may want to check out the 753 Max. It's the TW special Jared Lintner football jig rod.

I have had it for the last 10 months or so, and I'm very impressed with it. I don't throw football jigs on it though- mostly brush/ grass/ arkie jigs. Heck, I don't even own a football jig. I don't throw plastics or any other baits on it either. Just a 100% casting/ pitching jig rod for me. I feel the rod is perfect for 1/2 to 3/4 oz jigs, the way I fish them. (I notice the rod you are looking at is one power heavier.)

It's matched with a Citica 201D. It is by far the most balanced setup I have. The balance point is right on the reel seat. The Citica D is sort of heavy compared to more modern reels, but I like it that way. The rod is very light for its power, and very sensitive.

I haven't fished the other Powell or the GLoomis.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I just picked up a Powell 704 here for cheap so I'm happy. I owned a Powell spinning rod before and I wish I never would have sold it because it was such a nice rod. I definitely see more Powells in my future.
