Zillion or Powell rods....

Featured Replies

Has anyone compared the Zillion rods to the Powell rods?

Zillions are a little more sensitive.  Weight and balance are comparable to the '08 Powells.  Zillions are a little faster.  Hope that helps...

I want to try one of the new Zillions out for sure. They look promising. I have had no problems with my Powells though. Except when I first got my 765, It broke at the tip while flipping a fish up to shore. My second one has had no problems yet.

The Zillion is a little nicer and offers better guides (Sic's versus Aconites), but the Zillion is also more expensive.  For $139...nothing touches the Powell.  They were a good buy at their old $170 price point.  Basically, if you've got the money to spend...spend it.  Buy the best rod your budget will allow.  I think each aforementioned rod is the best at their price point.
