Naked

The Naked series is Powell's minimalist-aesthetic, performance-oriented freshwater casting and spinning lineup built on their MAXUMFIBER G40 graphite blanks finished in matte black. The target angler is a bass fisherman who wants a functional, technique-specific tool without branding or cosmetic treatments, hence the 'Naked' name. The series covers a range from finesse spinning to flipping and includes one composite glass-blend model for crankbait fishing, making it a small but technique-spanning lineup instead of a power-specific series.

G40 carbon blanks are designed for lightweight responsiveness with fast action characteristics; the XF actions dominate the spinning side. Fuji reel seats and Fuji Alconite guides are standard fitments. The 724 CB model breaks from the carbon pattern, it uses a glass/composite blank (identified by the 'CB Glass/Composite' suffix) for the loading characteristics appropriate to crankbait fishing, where a parabolic bend prevents pulling trebles. That's the only model with a non-carbon blank in the set.

Five models: three spinning and two casting. Spinning models (701 LEF, 713 MEF, 732 MLEF) cover drop-shot, finesse, and general presentations at 7'–7'3". The casting models split between the glass crankbait rod (724 CB) and a MH workhorse (723 MH CEF). All use EF or XF action codes. No moderate-action or slower-action casting models in this five-rod set.
