Thanks Dan. I think I am going to order a rod from him soon.

There is a custom rod builder on ebay from Minnesota. The name is R.W. Rod and he builds on St. Croix Blanks. Just wondering if anyone has purchased from him and how his craftsmanship was. Thanks

Iangler I am looking at the 2nd gen based on a 3000. Thanks for all the feedback guys

Just looking for a mini review from anyone that may be using a 2500R. Thanks

No personal attacks here but I have had no problems tying knots with the HD Carbon which is 100% FC. I have landed many big fish most recently a 220lb sword on 130lb leader double unied to 80lb braid. Good luck.

I also use the HD Pink and love it. I really believe it outfishes other flouro leaders. It is pretty tough and holds knots well also.

What are you fishing for wake???. Here is a funny little story for you. I lived and fished on the east coast fo awhile. I was with a group of 5 guys fluke fishing which can be done with moderately light tackle. One of the guys I was with hooked into what we believ to have been a cow-nosed ray. It ju...

Hey Wake, I am not sure what size Fin-Nor you are trying to fill but you will more than likely need some backing. Besides getting the spool full here are a couple more things to think about. I am not sure what you are after but if it is a long running fish like big tuna, sharks or any larger billfis...

Ditto! Perfect rod for what you mentioned IMO .

That is awesome! Big ol' poon and it is so cool that you you got it all on video. NICE

We find Pike+Soft plastics= hookset nothing there! We have cuaght many pike on all sorts of soft plastics. For every one we catch we probably get bit off by five others. Grrrrrrrrr

Gameover you are missing the point. New PowerPro is breaking way under it's advertised strength. I stopped using pp when they came out with the"new" rounder version. To me it was the new break way to easy version. I couldn't get a double uni to set in 50lb pp without it breaking. I have been pleased...

Have mine on a 782 IMX, love it on that rod the two make for a sporty combo.

Cool, Good to hear thanks guys.

Anyone use this rod? I am thinking of getting it for light flipping and carolina rigs. I would like to hear what the Powell users have to say.
