Powell Max Football Jig Rod 7'5" Med Hvy 753CEF. Anybody fished this rod? What are your impressions? I'm thinking jigs, deep water t-rigs, Carolina rigs & some pitching jigs in heavier cover. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I'll be able to tell you after next week- I bought one for my Dad because he was in desperate need of a better plastics/jig rod. We are headed to Falcon for a week and I am sure I will get the chance to play with it a bit.
My initial impressions merely handling it (not fishing) are that it is a MF-F taper with decent backbone. The rod felt really light for a 7'5" MH action stick.
I know I'm not much help, but hopefully I can give you a better review when we get back from Falcon! :mrgreen:

I bought a used one this past winter. I have only got to use it a little pitching jigs and so far it seems OK. Should get a better feel for it later this year when I get to use it for some deeper jig and plastics fishing. It is light and balances well with a Revo S.
