I have an opportunity to buy a new Powell Legacy 4wt with a warranty card and tube for under $200. This rod is not listed on Powell's website but they list a rod called the Advantage that sounds a lot like it for $189 yet supposedly the rod I am looking at went for $400+ years ago.

I can't find much information on these rods. I read a half dozen reviews here [url=http://www.outdoorreview.com/cat/fly-rods/freshwater-rods/powell/PRD_59754_1389crx.aspx:e2820]http://www.outdoorreview.com/cat/fly-rods/freshwater-rods/powell/PRD_59754_1389crx.aspx[/url:e2820]
and they seem favorable though the most recent one mentions that Powell supposedly discontinued the warranty on the series.

Anyone familiar with this series? Are they good rods? Are these rods before or after the Powell family lost the company to Schwab?
