I put in an order for some Powell rods and had some guys that wanted to try their new Diesel series of rods. I ended keeping two for myself I liked them so much.
I get a good price on them and to be honest I didn't think they would be that great. I don't use my spinning rods often but gotta admit, I'm impressed. I got a 7lb+ walleye on it and it was great! My daughter decided to adopt one of the rods already and got a good brown and nailed the white bass when we finally found them. They are a good all around rod.
I had some Daiwa rods and hated those, Loomis is ehh-ok I guess, St. Croix upper end rods are nice. I've never used any Shimano rods so I can't speak for those. Ugly Sticks are too flimsy for my style. I'm not sure what to think of these 'micro guide' rods yet. I'll stick to my Powell Rods for now, well balanced for different types of baits and lines.
