The Powell Diesel Rod Series is not covered under any type of warranty.**
**Keith Bryan, president of Powell Rods explains: “Many rods on the market today will easily cost the consumer $80 or more to be replaced under warranty when the warranty fee, shipping costs, and packaging materials are factored in. If breakage should occur, replacing a Diesel Rod will be faster and cost about the same, or even less money than going through a lengthy warranty process. Not offering a warranty also allowed us to really turn up the performance of this rod series to far exceed competitors" offerings in the same price category. If folks desire a warranty, the popular Max and Endurance rod lines are still covered."

Comments: I couldn't be any more happier with this rod. Extremely light, and the action is great. Incredible rod, at an amazing price!
From: Aaron: IA
Comments: I've been wanting to pick up a cranking rod for cranks & jerks, but didn't want to spend that much, so I gave the Diesel a try. Very nice rod for the money. I've got it paired with a Lew's TP1S & it's a great feeling combo that balances out very nicely for a glass cranking set-up. I've only fished it a little bit, but it casts nicely & has a nice soft tip for casting & playing the fish. Only complaint I have is the reel seat nut seems to not lock down that great, I've had to tighten it up a couple times after thinking I had it locked down when the reel felt a bit loose on a couple occasions. It hasn't caused a problem & for the money, it's hard to beat this stick.

From: James: Madison, FL
Comments: Put this on a Abu Garcia Revo SX! It looks so good and performs even better. I'm willing to say there is likely not a better crank rod on the market for this price. I will be ordering another soon.
From: Ryan: Seattle, WA
Comments: The rod is Sensitive, Feels like the other Powell Rods that I own and I own a few(12). The only thing that I found as a Con is that the Foam Handle is kinda slippery. Other than that it's a great rod at a really great price.
From: Martin: Fresno, CA
Comments: I have two of the 705CB rods. Like all Powells I own, they're fantastic (especially for $70). Powell really knocked it out of the park with this one! Anybody that questions the lack of warranty should read the full description of the rod INCLUDING the submission by Keith (owner of Powell Rod Co.)
From: Anthony: Niles, IL
Comments: Very good rod. This rod is lighter than my max 703cb and only $70. If you take care of your rods theses are a win- win
From: Brian: Pittsburgh
Comments: Got my 705CB Powell Deisel in and took her out for a test run. Paired it with a Curado 51e so it makes for a very light set up. The action is spot on for medium sized cranks, swimbaits, big top waters and even spinners. Very impressed with this rod and the quality is every bit as good as the Max and Endurance Powells I have. Good move on the lower price with no warranty.... just buy it, treat it right, and enjoy a great rod!
From: TKAHermes: Austin, TX
Comments: first of all, i need to say that this rod is extremely light weight! my berkley digital scale put it at just 3 oz. paired with a team daiwa fuego that is fully spooled with 10 lb big game monofilament, the total weight is only 12 oz. the rod feels amazing and is very underpriced. the eva foam grips feel very solid and much higher quality than most. i truly believe that you are getting the most bang for your buck with this rod. try it out and i can pretty much guarantee that you will be impressed!
From: Elijah: Seattle, WA
Comments: this rod is very similar to the powell 703cb glass rod. the action is almost identical. the only real noticeable difference is the reel seat. this rod has a slightly larger one, but the only way to tell is if u hold both rods side by side. also this rod has foam, not cork grips. other than that it is an awesome deal for $70
From: Kyle: Buena, NJ
Comments: I just ordered two of these bad boys. I got the cranking glass rod, and the 7'2 medium heavy all purpose. Pretty excited about these rods, because if they are anything like the other powell rods, these are a steal for the price. I will update when they get here wednesday!
