I did a search but only really found one response that i was looking for. Do yall have any problems throwing squarebills with this rod? I rarely deep crank, but i do throw squarebills to medium divers. The rod is only available in MH power so i want to make sure its not too much rod for a small squarebill.

I have an old cheap M rod that feels like a ML and im ready to get something with a little more backbone, but i dont want too much. I was looking at either this or the BPS crankin stick. The Crankin sticks M is rated the same as the Powell MH.

Thanks in advance yall!

I used it a couple of weeks ago to throw squarebills and I didn't have any issues. Only caught one on squarebills (and a crappie), but that wasn't the bite. The bite was on 5xd and 6xds. No problem with those either.

I have thrown everything from DT-14's all the way down to DT-4's. I also have thrown KVD 1.0's and some bandit 100's without issues with the rod. What gave me issues was wind and over runs. More of a reel braking issue. Once the reel was tuned things were dandy. I'll try some lipless cranks next.

So far I'm happy with it. Seeing I got it during one of TW 15% off sales. Very pleased for the money spent! Biggest fish caught(so far) was a 4 Lbs. LMB. and handled it just fine.
