Powell or Dobyns Jig rod????

[biteme]

I think if Gary had a over the counter exchange similar to Shimano i would be more incline to buy a BDO rod.

If that happens Ill sale my Powell's. I had three powell rods that needed to be swaped. I had them for eight months waiting for a local store to get the same models in. It was do that or send them in along with 35.00. So I would have had to pay shipping. So I just waited. Out of my 10 Powell's I had two guides come loose and one crank rod break on a cast. I love my Powell rods but the guides seem to have a problem.

That's a decent Tarpon! Did you "swing" it into the boat with that stout Powell Flippin Stick?

Just before I sold my boat, I was up the Middle Fork on Oroville when this guy in a houseboat flagged me down. Said his pregnant wife was feeling some labor pains but his houseboat engine wouldn't start. He also had six small kids on the houseboat that he couldn't leave alone. Asked me to tow him back to Bidwell. Of course, I agreed.

Problem is, neither of us had a long rope!

I figured it was an emergency, so I grabbed my Dobyns Swimbait rod...the one with the 80# test braid...and I tied on to the front of that houseboat. It took almost two miles to get on pad, but I got that family back to Bidwell before the baby was born! Only damage to my Dobyns Rod came when I used it to push the houseboat up against the dock...broke the damn ceramic in the tip! I'm hoping Gary will authorize a free replacement, even though it was my fault! HAR HAR!

If anyone doubts Powell doesn't break I got not 1 but three Broken Powell Rods. I've nicknamed them POWS for that very reason as they all broke in the same day. Hence the plural POW(s). Pow Pow Pow and I have had others replaced beyond those 3.

I think 3 months is ludicrous to get a rod replacement as stated earlier in this thread and on top of that being lied to..
