B@ssCrzy Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I have a Powell Diesel, but am looking to unload it because I want something lighter. I have a carrot stix that I bought on sale for $75 for my main jig rod and bought the Diesel because I wanted another jig rod. However, when I go from the light carrot stix to the diesel it is night and day. So I find myself not fishing with the Diesel very much at all. I know there are other rods in the $100 range, but am specifically asking about a comparison to these two rods. Don't want a Veritas b/c of the breakage and poor quality concerns, can't test a *** to see if I like the handle, and have heard good things about the Denali. Thanks for your help guys. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted February 7, 2014 Super User Posted February 7, 2014 It's not even a question. Jadewood all the way. Quote

Hello, I can't speak for the Powell or Carrot stick because I have never fished with those. But for the last few months I have been fishing with Denali rods. The Jadewood are awesome rods. They are light sensitive, and the hardwood foregrip does wonders for balance and sensitivity as well. Yes I am on their Prostaff and yes I gave all my old rods away because I believe in their product. If you have any questions shoot me a pm. Would be glad to help. 3 Quote

Super User rippin-lips Posted February 7, 2014 Super User Posted February 7, 2014 I had 3 Diesels. I'm down to 1 and it never gets used. I have a Jadewood cranking rod that is super light and a Jadewood 7'6 H flippin stick. Quote

KC5TTC Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Gotta go with the Jadewood. Like AMAC, I am on their prostaff. I had a carrot Stix and loved it. But since changing to Denali Rods, I have no regrets. I sold everything I had for nearly nothing to change to Denali. 1 Quote
B@ssCrzy Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks for all your input. Just sold my Diesel. Looks like I am going to enter the world of Denali!! 2 Quote
