Just got my Daiwa Steez SV TWS today! Can't wait to try it out. This Saturday for sure. 

 

What is that rod a Powell Max3D?  It looks good on it. 

 

Yes, it's a Powell Max3D 6'10" Med Mod Fast.  Super lite setup. Thanks

 I have the predecessor to it the Powell Max 683 matched up with a Diawa Tatula 6.3-1.  Man that is the most versatile rod I own. I got it to pitch jigs around docks.  I usually have 12 rods under my deck (not always the same 12 depending on the type of waters I am going to fish) but somehow that rig always ends up on the top deck. 

It's glorious. Make sure to report back after you've put it through the paces! 

Looking really good.

Sharp looking outfit

Wow 

Nice!      Congratulations.

 

Powell rods are not as well known because a lot of the big stores do not carry them but they make a a couple of nice series of rods and all of them are less than $170 bucks.

Powell rods do have a reputation as being nice rods for their price point.  I only have one...an Endurance 723C.  Very nice.  I wouldn't hesitate to buy the Max 3 rods as I've read they are even better.

Nice setup! 

I always told myself when I can buy a Steez and not feel guilty about testing it out, or even better the Megabass tuned version I would have made it both in my career and marriage. Congratulations.
