Bass Fishing Rods Spinning Rods These versatile rods are tuned specifically to handle light line presentations often critical in clear, deep bodies of water. Designed with agile tips, these rods excel at everything from vertical dropshot presentations to launching split shot rigs with a flick of your wrist. They are sensitive and forgiving enough to detect the softest deepwater bites, yet offer a surprising butt section that allows you to confidently fight a big fish. You will find this series to have the perfect marriage of finesse and power, always able to protect the light lines commonly associated with these techniques. The longer length enables you to pick up more line which is critical for a solid hook set in deep water. The Extra-Fast action is preferred by an angler who likes their rod to load up very quickly with incredible tip speed. The rods are available in various lengths and line ratings suitable for many different scenarios.
Designed with a versatile tip section, these are equally comfortable at short to long ranges with small to medium sized baits. You’ll marvel at the feedback these rods give you as you work baits like shakyheads, and wacky rigs around grassy edges, rock piles, docks, and other structures. The shorter models are great for close presentations, while longer models allow more line to be picked up off the water for more efficient long range hook sets and increased fish steering ability during the fight. The Extra-Fast action is preferred by an angler who likes their rod to load up super fast with incredible tip speed. The rods come in various lengths and line ratings suitable for many different scenarios.

Endurance Series Rods Spinning Rods This is a new series of 16 rod models that bear distinctive graphics with a purple water spot pattern, matching thread wraps with black and silver trim, purple galvanized aluminum non corrosive trim rings on a matte black blank. Most all of the models feature new lengths and rod blank tapers, and are stiffer than the Max Rods. All of the rods will be constructed on Powell’s proprietary Maxumfiber blank technology, a special blend of fibers that reduces weight without sacrificing strength. The new rods will still feature Fuji reel seats and Fuji Alconite guides; however, the guides on these new rods will begin with a smaller first guide, yet large enough for knots and debris to pass through. These guides are smaller than the guides used on other Powell Rods. Fuji Alconite guides are a standard setting guide in the rod building community.
