Does anyone have any info on this rod?  I am considering it due to the sale at TW.  My main question is weather it would double for any other techniques?  Spinnerbaits mainly.  I fish heavy timber quite often and would like something a bit heavier than what I have for throwing shallow cranks and spinnerbaits into the timber.  Any help is much appreciated.

I have that rod, paired with a Fuego. I use the rod for senko's, spinnerbaits, crankbaits and just about whatever I'm fishing at the time. I personally don't get too hung up on these uber-specific labels that get put onto gear, rods in particular.

The rod has a lot of backbone, but a soft tip. The length is good for accurate casts. The rod balances well and is surprisingly lightweight. Had I not just bought a Dobyns 684c I'd be all over this deal

The answer is yes, it will work great. I have 16 Powell rods and I can tell you that the 5 power crank bait rods are very versatile. Throw just about any reaction bait you like, buzz baits, spinner baits, crank baits, top waters(not so much the smaller ones), rip baits. I think you will find it ot be a great rod for alot of different baits.

Thanks for the info guys.  Now it is up to the wife to come through and order the right one!

Good luck man, my wife has always done great. IM sure you will be pleased.

Yeah she usually does good, like with the Daiwa Viento that arrived yesterday!   ;D  Plus with this rod it is the only one available when you click that link.

Thanks for the info guys.  I ordered one yesterday.   

Those Powell's look good with a Daiwa Fuego on 'em   8-)

My wife ordered it for me, should be here tomorrow.  My new Daiwa Viento will go on my flippin stick and the Powell will get a Revo S-L.

    Why do all their reviews sound the same?

They are just like anybody else , they have opinions and their opinion doesn't swing any more weight with me than anybody else would , as a matter of fact I put more creedance on the fella's here on BR than them.

Yeah I saw the review.  I will be testing mine out tomorrow morning for the first time.  I will post back with my review of the rod.  Can't wait to get out there, its been like two weeks since I last wet a line, its killin me!

   Thats how I feel to. They may have given a bad review here or there, but the ones Ive read all seem about the same. Id like to hear en say, while its a decent rod, I really dont like it for this purpose.(not referring to anything in particular, just in general).
