Blake2737 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 What can yall tell me about the Powell inferno? Also how do they stack up with the *** blacks? Thanks!! Quote
ibobpeb Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 One of the lightest rods. Fished it side by side with my dobyns champion, both MH and the inferno was lighter in weight. Quote
stkbassn Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I have not owned an Inferno but I've owned Max and Diesel series Powell's and I even like my Diesels better than the ***'s. People build the *** up to be such an amazing rod but I didn't find it to be so spectacular for me...to each his own. Powell makes awesome rods and I would put them up against anyone including Loomis and Dobyns. *** doesn't even make it into that category in my opinion. Get an Inferno , Max , or Endurance and I think you'll be quite pleased. Or wait for the new *** with the full grip. It could be a great rod for lesser money than you'll pay for a Powell if saving money is your ultimate goal. I'm not bashing ***'s so I please don't get your blood pressure up if you're an *** fanatic. Simply my opinion, doesn't make it right or wrong...I just fish with what I like..right now it's Powell and Loomis. Quote
Chris186 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I owned 2 infernos, they were really nice rods. Only thing I didn't like was the xf tip, if they made them with a fast tip I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again. Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I haven't fished an Inferno either but I am a huge Powell fan. I've been fishing their max series since they introduced them. Still fishing them today, never had a single problem from any of my 5. Just added my first Max 3D recently and I couldn't be happier. Absolutely fantastic rods, IMHO of course. I've played around with the Inferno in the shop and they feel pretty good. In my opinion you won't be disappointed at all with a Powell rod. Go ahead and bite the bullet and get yourself one! Quote
