Ive bean using a 674 (6'7") Extra fast powell endurance. I have the chance to trade for a 855 (7'1") fast Now heres the problem. I love my powell. Ideally I would just want a longer version of it. Both rods are rated at 1/4 oz to 1 oz. That being said one is a 4 power and one is a 5. My concerns are that the loomis will be a broomstick. It will mostly be used for pitching and casting lighter timber with a 1/2 oz jig and rage craw trailer. Any reviews on the loomis or comments on the situation would be greatly appreciated.

rage craws...

I have fished both rods. only fished with the E6X briefly since not many people have it and its recently came out. I have more experience with the dobyns which is why i lean toward it. Just my opinion.

^^^^^^^^^ This!!!!! 7lb sniper is great stuff

Your signature says your a denali prostaffer. How do like those rods?

Bottom Line your buying from two of the major companies, its hard to go wrong

could ya send that info my way too please!

With a champion from dobyn's you are getting their flagship model. The E6X from loomis is a new, unproven rod built for a budget. With the E6X loomis had to "cut corners" to lower the price point. Loomis's are made in america and have arguably the best name and warranty in the buisness. You end up paying for American craftmanship costs(which i support 100%). What I dont like about the E6X is that you end up paying alot for the name and warranty. I feel buying a higher end rod in the loomis lineup would result in getting the full quality loomis has to offer. A dobyns is a tournament proven stick, its been around for awhile and has set a bench mark for the bass fishing world.

dobyns champion series 100%

look up spring lake ca

1. get the bait. 2. go to tackle warehouse 3. buy the same thing......only the original. Little creepers trash fish. The originals are WAY softer and swim much better. they have a nice wobble but dont tip over. and you can fish them much slower with the same action. Tight lines

Thanks for all the responses, I have quite a few powells, maxe and endurances mostly. I just wanted an opinion on the other options in that price range.

Which would you choose?

i have 6 powells love every one. never had a problem

from probably 115 to 175 or 200

As the title states, Which one. In a Mercury.

I am going to get a M or MH moderate action for throwing cranks, jerk baits, and topwaters What gear ratio could I get away with for all these techniques?

been bed fishing a lot with a jig. just keep hitting em in the side til they bite

I have a Powell 735 Mag Heavy Extra Fast, great rod, has a little bit of tip for a broom stick which is really nice

Here in Cali the spawn is on in most lakes. How far along are your lakes?

How much different is yo zuri hybrid from straight fluoro. I am using sunline flouro currently and am entertaining the possibility of switching. Is there any sensitivity loss?

powell max 3d

shakey head on the bottom as a weight and put your dropshot above

little creepers makes a good a rig minnow thats a step below their flagship model

oh I have some of those. dont know the name either but i kno what your talking about
