Powell Endurance Rod 723- Cef

[shimmy]

Boy oh boy! I love this rod. It has been such a great change from previous rods and felt like it wouldn't hurt to put a review of the rod. I use the Powell Endurance 723 for jig fishing and was blown away with how well it handled 1/8 ounce jigs and 3/4 ounce jigs. It was crazy to feel the jig slide down reeds and feel solid against rocks. To me, it just seems like it is at the top tier of 200 and under rods for jig fishing. Got mine on sale for 125 a few months ago and believe it is the best bang for the buck. Using this rod, you just never worry about it breaking. It is thicker than other medium heavy rods but feels just as light. I had it teamed up with the Lews tournament pro, 16 lb line, which felt like a match made in heaven. When i talked with a Powell representative, he stated that the 723 is a power in between the Powell Max 703C and 704C since many people complained about the drastic difference between the 703 and 704. 

 

On a side note, i fished an *** *** 6'10 Medium and loved the power (felt like a medium heavy) and the sensitivity was great (but not as good as the Powell). The handle on the rod is amazing and feels better than the Endurance in that sense but both feel equally light. As for the negative, the rod tip broke while trying to pull a lure out of the weeds. While the rod worked great, the Endurance just outclasses it. Just ten cents on a good rod and information i wished i knew prior to make my decision even faster when i sought a jig rod under 200.

The powell endurance rods are one of the best bang for you buck rods out their. More then half my rods are made up of endrance rods.

I also love the endurance 723 for jigs. It has caught me quite a few fish this year, looking foward to getting some more endurances

Already got 2, one being the 723cef and the other being the 695cb. Of the rods I've tried, I share the opinion that they're the best bang for your buck. I will probably add the 714cef to my line up before long.

I have 2 723s and i love that rod. Its a great worm and light jig rod. Its also my go to for spinnerbaits,chatterbaits,swim jigs, and hollow body swimmers.

I use the 714 as my jig rod, its a little more stout. I love it for 3/8-3/4oz jigs!!!
