This doesn't make me an expert but I grew up where the Powell family had their business and own a few of their glass and bamboo rods. As far as I know, the Tiboron post dates Pres's sale of the company to Schwab. Also, the Powell logo on the rod does not match the original company logos. Powell rods became just another rod after the company was sold and lost their lineage dating back to their years of production in Chico and Oroville by Pres, Walton and E.C.
