thats not a sale, powell is actually loweing the price on their rods by $30 so from now on thats what they will be whether they are in stock now or not. unlike the curado deal this one is going to last...its not a limited time deal from what i've heard. everyone who carries powell will be lowering their prices within the next few days including the shop that i work at.

SWEET!!

Nice, I just been thinking of buying two new rods now I am.

This is some great news for future and present Powell customers. You should see the official press release on Monday, however it looks like the cat was let out the bag as is the norm with big announcements.

There is some good messaging behind this action so stayed tuned to here the background on this price move.

enjoy.

Gabe

Just awesome!!!

Thats good news.

For those of you who use Powell rods what would be a good rod for throwing 1/2 - 3/4 football heads? I was thinking the the 703 CEF.

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release

Powell Rods Announces New Lower Pricing Structure on Powell Max Bass Rods

Novato, Calif. – As the cost of living seems to increase daily and retail prices continue to climb nationwide, the burden of those increased costs land squarely on the shoulder of consumer. The fishing industry is no different, as prices of goods have steadily climbed in recent history.

Powell Rods knows that increased costs can have an effect on an angler’s ability to enjoy their pastime and the company has taken steps to help alleviate some of the pressure brought on by rising costs.

Immediately Powell Rods will institute a new, lower retail price on all of their popular Powell Max Bass Rods. The new price points will be $139.99 for all rods seven feet and shorter, while all rods longer than seven feet will retail for $169.99.

Keith Bryan, President of Powell Rods, said that the new pricing structure is the result of working with current suppliers to procure materials and components with the long run in mind. “Our Powell Max bass rods are made with the highest quality components, and that is not going to change,â€

Dave,

Try the 704 or 705, I think you'll find those to be better for those two jig sizes.

I throw casting jigs on a 704, has handled them well, I think it's a good all around jig rod for the lakes.

DanO

Hey Dave. DanO is right on with this one. Though the 703CEF is extremely versatile, the 704CEF is ideal for the technique you mentioned.

I love my 734 CEF for football heads 1/2 up to 1 oz. It also makes an awesome C-Rig rod as well as an open water frog rod. It is one of the most versatile rods I own and I love it.

I agree, the 734 is the best rod I've ever used for 1/2-3/4oz jigs. In the wintertime I'm using that rod more than any other I have. Go Powell!!

Paul W

Most definitely for that size jig, try the 734. It's a perfect match and as has already been said, probably one of the MOST versatile rods by anyone out there!

+1 for a 734 being the most versatile rod, I used to own the powell version but have since sold it to buy the dobyns and another one of 'em is definitely the next rod on my list

Coyote Bait and Tackle also has the new Powell pricing as of today.

I heard Tackle It started doig it Today as well.

We have adjusted our prices as well.

Powell Rods were on True Bass last year and I noticed every time ( I think it was Keith) stuck a fish, this great music played in the background. Pow, da to da ta da, da, etc. I thought that was cool. Neat action commercial.

I think he just did. Its posted a few threads up.

704 or 734 in my opinion

ya every store was supposed to have changed by today

what's a good powell rod for a buzz bait and chatter bait?

Greg, you should try the 734 or the 765 cb/sbr, however i prefer the 734. All around reaction rod, topwater, buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, chatter baits, and you can also use for flipping. I have used it for senkos and its great for swimmin a jig.

good luck.

706cb 765cb if you like graphite. 703cb or 754cb if you like glass.

734 IS THE BEST ALL AROUND ROD FOR JIGS OF ANY SIZE
