Powell Endurance

[robster80]

found a cpl decent deals here and there on these. i havent held one in person tho. does the purple color annoy anyone? just seems so girly. are they a better rod than the max?

[Arv]

They don't fish "girly."

[Teal]

Does the purple color annoy? Ask Adrian Peterson that question. It certainly doesn't affect how he performs

Are they better than the Max? Yes. They are the next rod up

[F14A-B]

Yep, had one ... Well made rod.. Great feel..

765... I will take a Max any day... Purple water splash? I gave it up...

[new2BC4bass]

Only color of rod that bothers me is the Skeet Reese yellow.  Not too fond of white, but like my Jupiter rod anyway.

 

Don't own a Powell, but that is because I haven't found a sweet deal on one yet. 

 

From all the reviews and opinions I have read on them, I wouldn't hesitate to own one.  Besides..............I like purple............girly or not. 

[rippin-lips]

It bothers me so much because I don't have enough purple on my deck. As for girly. You worry about the fashion side of fishing and I'll continue to catch fish.

Yes it's better then the max. In my opinion it's a pretty good jump over the max series.

[Teal]

^^^^ love this guy,^^^

Good looking deck there Adam

I had my two baitcast rods out today 683 endurance and 783 imx. Both under 7 feet same lure range. The endurance is a smidge heavier in power and faster in action.

The endurance can take a beating and comes back for more. It's actually my frogging rod.

I know the imx and endurance are separated by a huge price gap and truthfully the differences are minimal.

Check out tt I believe they reviewed a max or edurance 683 and a loomis 783 and gave both a good review.

If you can get a good deal; I wouldn't hesitate on an endurance and no purple is a non-issue.

[rippin-lips]

Thank you sir. I need about 6 more rods and then I'll have enough purple.

[robster80]

may give one a shot. sheesh ive bought too many rods this year

[WdyCrankbait]

Dont worry about the purple, you won't be looking at the rod when you're fishing.  Great rods, search and there are good deals out there on Endurances.

 

I've got the

 

723C

6103S   Killer 4" weightless senko/smallmouth rod/finesse presentaitions

755C

775C

 

Great rods, a ton of backbone!  I almost feel sorry for the bass when I set the hook on them.

 

Endurance > Max

 

Teal & Rippin-lips seem to be the Powell rod champions on this board, I bring up the rear.  

 

Good luck, pull the trigger and pretty soon you will be seeing more bass green, than purple.

Does the purple color annoy? 

Movie was good

[Bass_Fanatic]

I own about a dozen Endurance rods...for $150 you can't beat em!

Where are you finding them for $150? Everywhere I see them they are $200.

[Bass_Fanatic]

Yep...try thefishranger.com  Call them and they will get it to you and if you buy multiple rods you will get them for under $150 with a lifetime over the counter warranty.  Cant beat that!!  I broke a 714C earlier this year and sent it to them and had a brand new one sent back in less than a week!

I would go as far as to say that it's "girly" that you're worried what you look like while fishing...lol

He mention price range of these new rods by chance?

[dam0007]

Just scored a 725cb from fishranger for $130 awesome!! Wanted something longer for DT 10s thanks bass_fanatic.

no he didn't I asked name of line and he said he couldn't say yet. I called about the tw exclusive football jig rod that's no longer offered seeing what they have that's comparable. He said a very similar rod is launching in the new series.

That's exciting! Just bought my first ever Powell (Endurance 714), and I definitely love it! Excited to see what they're coming out with next!

[robster80]

anyone use the 714 for texas rigs ? handle them well?

[rippin-lips]

How heavy? I use my 723 for Tx rigs that have a 1/8-3/8 weight. Over that I'll use my 714 but I'm mainly pitching things like a D bomb with a 1/2 weight to pads and cover. Open water it's the 723.

[Chris186]

I don't have the endurance, but I do have two Powell Infernos. I like them a lot, I would imagine the Endurance is good too.

[robster80]

ive got a max series 683 that im using for open water t-rigs. found a deal on the 714 figured it miggt do a little better in the heavier cover stuff and allow me to throw heavier t-rigs as well
