Up to 49% off brand new Powell Fly rods at the
sierra Trading Post.
They carry the Tiboron, the Edge, and the Advantage XL. You won't find lower prices anywhere for a these rods. I have bought from this site many times and the customer service is great. They will even honor manufacturer warranties.

Price isn't everything. Some of these rods aren't all that great in my opinion - I think some of these Powell rods are overpriced even at the 'clearance' prices. As to their casting feel/abilities, well, that's why Sierra Trading has them on closeout - they didn't sell that well, and the models are being discontinued. I tried the Advantage XL, an imported rod which STP has been hawking for a couple of years now and found the 8wt slow and VERY dead-feeling, no sensitivity to speak of despite the medium-slow action. It also was designed for only freshwater use with small guides and tip-top. You can do better, I think for the money.
