BasshunterJGH Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 I got a powell max cranking rod on sale at tackle warehouse. It's 7 ft medium heavy. I like it, it's lightweight, but it seems a little light in power for a medium heavy. And it's rated 3/16-1/2 oz which is more of a medium rating. And then I noticed the 7 ft medium is rated 1/4-3/4 oz?! What is up with powells power ratings? The m is a mh and the mh is a m! Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted September 5, 2014 Super User Posted September 5, 2014 I thought the Powell max crankbait rods only came in Heavy and medium? Not medium heavy Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted September 5, 2014 Author Posted September 5, 2014 It's the 705cb medium hvy. Check it out on tackle warehouse.com. I got it because of the Labor Day sale and it was on sale $130 so I got it for $110. Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted September 5, 2014 Author Posted September 5, 2014 I got a 6.5 lber and a 5 lber on the powell this morning! I like the rod. Has plenty of backbone and I was able to cast 5/8 oz squarebills no problem. Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 don't trust TW's specs. go to the manufacturers site. but you still gotta be careful b/c even the manufacturer sites have misprints Quote
