Stevo's Penn powerstix pro review

I have had my penn powerstix pro of
12 month's now and I've been very
happy with it.For a 13ft 9" rod it's
quite light and casting weight of 4 - 6oz
seems about right for what I need. Bite
detection (when I get one ) is good
and this rod also as a high visibility tip
which does help at times.



3 Piece High Resistance 24T carbon blank
Fuji O Ring guides
Fixed reel seat suitable for multiplier and fixed spool use
Supplied in a cordura hard rod tube
Penn performance at a modest price!
around £60 - £80 which isn't bad for
a rod this well built.



Penn Powerstix Pro Surf rods are
available in two sizes (13ft and a massive 15.9ft) these beachcasters are capable of sending a baited rig a very long way

All in all a very good rod for this price bracket
stevo give's it 9/10

Great report Stevo!

I've got the Powerstix Pro Bass rod, don't use it much but it does the job well enough, not the classic Bass rod configuration being 3 piece but it fits nicely across the back of the car boot. What I don't like is the cherry colour, the colour of a rod should make no difference really but somehow it does.

I don't mind the colour when the sun is on it
add's something else rather than all black.

Are you doing a review on you daiwa longbeam paul?  

Might just do that - although it's not my weapon of choice these days!
