Russ retired from fishing a few years ago to focus on his business and his family. Recently Russ decided to re enter the competitive tournament fishing environment and since that re-entry back into tournament fishing he has done very well in the events he has participated in.

Keith Bryan, President of Powell says: “Having Russ join our team is really outstanding in terms of solidifying an additional versatile angler with a strong Northern CA presence. Not only do I like Russ’s professionalism and fishing ability, he’s also a successful businessman, which I really admire. He’s just a great addition to our team, in more ways than one.”
Russ says, this is the first time after all these years of fishing that I have felt this strongly about one Rod company. The first time I picked up a Powel Rod and threw a swim bait with it. I knew I would not be using my old Rods anymore. They are the lightest most sensitive and strongest rods I have ever picked up. They are truly a work of art. A must have for ever avid Bass fisherman.
