Has anybody heard about them? I was on Powell's site ( powellco.com ) and saw these rods in the slide window at the top of the page. It says the come out Nov. 1st and dont really say anything other than that. Were they at Icast? Have any of you heard about them?

Tackle tour has a article on it. Price point is at $169.

Okay thanks

I don't know what to think about these yet. I've read the TT article but it just doesn't give enough details. It sounds like it's the same as the Max series just with a purple theme and an added $30. I like my Powell. I don't understand this business decision though.

Exactly it just looks like a Woman's Powell max. Similar to what St.Croix did with their Avid series by making the Avid Pearl. Maybe it's just to get sales from style mindeed woman anglers. Thats my theory but I agree TT didn't give hardly any details except for how the rod looks.
