Depending on the length of the rod, the dash/letter designator meant different things. All these rods were labeled simply as "TR" rods with a number indicating length and then a dash (-) followed by a letter desginating line weight. Usually built with a black anodized with wood insert seat and wrapped in burgundy or burgundy tipped with black, these 4 piece rods were considered more utilitarian 'pack' rods and as such were not given the same cosmetic treatment as their lovely green two piece counter parts. From 1990 through 1993 these four piece blanks were not the dark green of the two piece rods but were built on an uncolored gray blank. Then in about 1990 Powell began offering these rods in four piece "Travel Rod" models. For the rest of the Powell Rod Co's production their graphite blanks came out of this facility with Loomis and Powell alternating blank production runs.įor the first few years of production the Light Touch rods were only offered in two piece models. On a hand shake, Walt moved all his rod rolling equipment, much of which they had been sharing and was needed by Gary, into the new shop.

They were sold in the black with brass hardware powder coated aluminum rod cases.Īn aside on the Loomis/Powell realtionship. They came with wood spacer reel seats as standard as well. Gold wraps for the anodized gold color seats and gray wraps for rods with the anodized silver seats. Standard configuration was a dark green blank wrapped in green tipped on either gray or gold - depending on the reel seat. Built on moderately fast IM6 blanks with Powell tapers on Powell mandrels they were (and still are) the Chico era Powell's most popular graphite rod series. Rods like these can be great for fishing with light line, small hooks, or treble hooks because they offer a lot of cushion to prevent line from breaking or. These were, for a time, Powell's top of the line rod series and their most expensive for a few years. In 1987 Press Powell introduced this series of two piece rods on lovely dark green blanks. In my opinion this series are easily Powell's finest work in graphite rods and generally speaking the Light Touch rods are among the most enjoyable to fish graphite rods ever built. ![]()
