I have a few Powermesh rods...3 old Powermesh X Carp rods 2.5tc that must be knocking on 25 years old now , took a while for me to like but they have grown on me. They seem to have gained something of a cult following as years pass, more so than the more expensive (at the time) Infinities which surprised me a little. They are good all round workhorse rods to cover lots of situations.
I also have a pair of more recent 10 foot 3lb Tc Powermesh rods that I got for more restricted swims on rivers and also for using on a boat. They are not of quite the same quality..rings for sure are worse..but still quite nice rods although the 3lb versions are a bit beefy perhaps for general fishing.
I always feel Diawa are a safe bet for rods, I have have a few and cant think of one that I was disapointed with. They may not set the world alight but they probably wont let you down either...in my opinon anyway
