trupp30 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Which rod would you recommend for flipping light to moderate cover with a slither rig and working football jigs. A Duckett White Ice 7'3" Heavy Pete Ponds, or a Powell Endurance Flippin' 764 FLIP. Both are the same price, so that is not an issue. Thanks for the help Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I've got rods by both brands. Got 1 duckett and 13 Powells for a reason... 1 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted June 20, 2014 Global Moderator Posted June 20, 2014 Sorry, cant answer your question..but I'd like to know what is a "slither rig"? I never heard of that term ( I assume it's for flippin plastics) Just wondering Mike Quote
Dave23 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 A slither rig is a large punching weight with a jig skirt attached to it. Made by Strike King Quote
Dave23 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 As far as powell vs duckett. I own both brands and the powell ratings tend to be on the lighter side compared to other brands. I own a heavy action duckett and itll pull a truck outta the mud!(not really). My powell rods are mh action and they seem more like mediums to me but still my favorite. Hope this helps Quote
SenkoGuru Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I use to own around five Powell Max and and four Powell Endurance rod's. I still really like Powell Rods and think they are great rods but I sold all of my Powells except for the Powell Max 703 and I couldn't bring myself to part with it. I replaced all my Powells with Ducketts for a reason. I now own 18 Duckett, 2-Ghost, 3-Micro Magic and 13-White Ice. They are the best I've ever fished with and I have fished close to every rod made except for Megabass, GLoomis and Airrus. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted June 20, 2014 Super User Posted June 20, 2014 Nothing bad to say about either but I'd buy more Powell's before a Duckett. Quote
JTP Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 both will do the job. Pick which one you like better in your hands. Quote
Jon G Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I cant comment on the white ice but I have a few Micro Magics and Powell Endurances. I use to use all Ducketts but I feel that the Endurance is a more sensitive rod and has an absolute fantastic back bone. But dont think ducketts are bad rods they are very good rods I just personally prefer powells. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted June 21, 2014 Super User Posted June 21, 2014 Powell , but in at least a 5 power! Quote
Super User Teal Posted June 21, 2014 Super User Posted June 21, 2014 Those two rods are not the same or even close. The Ducket rod is a heavy power rod, the 764 is really like a mh. Powells 725 is more comparable . They make a 775 which is a beast. Quote

They make a 775 which is a beast. Have You tried the 755CB or the 804CB endurance? Im looking for a rod for like 6XD's, deep cranking. Quote
