What is Maxumfiber?
Today at Powell, we have introduced a new breakthrough material called "Maxumfiber." This new material allows our rod design team to utilize less material in the overall rod design, which decreases rod weight, increases sensitivity, durability, and allows for a smoother transition in overall rod performance and feel in your hand.
You will marvel at the sensitivity while working a jig over a rocky bottom, as you feel every pebble and stone. You will experience sensation of feeling the vibration of a crankbait all the way to your elbows as it ticks through the smallest blades of grass. The combination of this material and our design tapers keeps you more connected to what's happening with your lures.
Our longitudinal fibers stay intact better because they are married together by a super light weight resin then intertwined with a special, super light weight webbing that is truly space aged. The combination of these increases the hoop strength of the rod, and has unbelievable dampening characteristics so you have a fishing tool that you can rely on.
Additionally, the material stays intact under extreme loads while fighting fish, on hard hook sets, and is less apt to "go oval" as we say, which causes rod failure. Our design reduces the elongation of rod fibers so they won't pull apart easily.
When you have been making fishing rods for 100 years one thing is for certain: you didn't get there by chance. You did it by a rigorous research and development program, an understanding of how to develop cutting edge materials and how they interact with motion and heavy loads. Mix in the expertise and the materials with real world trial and error process; and the result is a Powell Rod.
