Dai, i've been having them on size 18 and 20 F fly's in Tan and in green. I have also had a few on bugs - gold headed and pink!
Glyn, thats no Tarpon rod, its only a 5wt sage, a nice rod - but that Powell 4wt is really something else. I have been a sage fan for some time now, but the Powell's are in a totally different league! (plus they are black)

Bill,
I had a go with a friends in the Salt this year, and was impressed, but the Powell's really are something special, blank quality and build are superb.

Best factory finished rods I have ever owned!. I am going to get another 8wt purely for salt water work!...Awesome bit of kit.I just wish I could get a 10ft model for the same price as I paid for the others.  ....I'm not grumbling though!. I tried the Scot rods!...Very nice bits of kit also!. DAZ. |

p.s. good going on the grayling mucker, sounds like you've been having some sport. Hoppy looking very puzzled! perhaps because he managed a full session without breaking a rod  ;D |

Bill, I found mine on ebay earlier this year - paid £350.00 for the Edge. I havent got the Tiboron - but i think that the XL has now replaced it - have a look at www.landbigfish.com/tacklestore/showcase.cfm?PID=4494I havent seen a UK supplier for some time - its worth a look on ebay. Great rods. Hoppy |
