lurkin4lunkers Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Looking at getting a 795 for treble hooks with a 7 gear ration tranx and a 807 for hud type baits with a 5 gear ratio. What y’all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thastickybandit Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 795 is a great rod. I think the tranx may be over kill though. I have no experience with the 807. But the 867 would get it done with the hudd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeast_trev Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 807 has the power and backbone to hammer home a Hudd. It does great with jig hook style baits. 795 is an excellent rod for that 2-4oz range but i find that it struggles with the higher and lower end of it's rating (only speaking for Fury 795). I would consider 806 Champion over the 795 if you think you'll be throwing baits more in that 2-6oz range basskickinrednick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurkin4lunkers Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 More opinions on the 806 for treble baits. Be throwing anything from 2-4.5 ounces JAYfromMA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse74 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I have been using my 795 for 1.5-3oz treble wakes & small glides. I use my 806 for 2-3.5oz jig hook soft plastics like battleshads or heavy line throughs. I use my 867 for just bigger glides like the 250's 5-7oz. I would think the 807 would work well for 8"-10" Hudds. If your mainly only throwing 2-4.5 oz treble wakes/glides i would go 795. If your more on the Jig style baits in that weight range small 6"-8" hudds 806-807. The 795 doesn't require a big tranx or round reel in my opinion, i use a Lews Super Duty Wide spool or Tatula ect.

HookdUp Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 How do people like the 807 for Treble hook baits ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 A Tatula HD will easily handle any bait you're going to throw on the 795.Regarding the 807, I think you are better off with an 867. It's far more versatile and is a fantastic Hudd rod. I liked my 807 but my 867s are just better rods. As far as all the jig hook vs treble hook stuff, I don't worry about that. My 795 works perfectly with treble hook glides like the Negotiator and the workhorse but it also works well with a weedless Rising Son. And you can look at the image below for how an 867 works on hooksets with a jig hook Hudd. drewmoniz and Primus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriperAddict Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I got my 807 for 250s and 10" hiros. Best rod for these baits Ive used. Chucks them a mile without killing yourself and great feel at the end of the cast to work baits the way you want. I use the 908 for hinkle trout 11" hiro etc and its perfect there.

viaxai Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 There's two model of the 795 in the champion series. I have the mike long model which have a longer handle compared to the regular 795. Works good for me when using glides and 8in hudds.

Delawhere? Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Had an 807 for two years till it deep sixed off my yak with an Abu Naci and my one and only OG 250 I’ll probably ever have. Honestly, I only miss the reel and 250. The rod got the job done, but never fit well for how I fish. Always wanted a couple more inches on the handle and a little more tip for glides. The 867 has what I wanted all along. Saying all that I like my Phoenix M1 and Black Diamonds better. Primus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurkin4lunkers Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks everyone, for 68 and 8 inch huds what do you guys prefer the 806 or 807. 807 is probably overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossypumpkin Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Use common sense. 807 is never overkill for 6†hudds because it’s NOT just about the cast. It’s about the hook set too. You need to punch a heavy wire hook into the hardest part of a fishes mouth. 807 is money for soft baits 2-6oz. I think your hard bait rod you want the 806 for sure. If I could only have two rods it would be those two 253caster and Primus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evans_usmc69 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 If I had the money, I'd just buy the 867, hands down my favorite rod. Low on cash, fury 806. I like my old school cork handle 807, but it's easily replaced by the 867. The 807 I have is a faster action rod than the 806 and 867,if that's what you're looking for, but I agree with David, 867 is fine with a jig hook hudd too. I will use my 867 from a whopper plopper to a hinkle or mother and never had an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewmoniz Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'd go 806 and 867, unless you plan on throwing baits under 2 oz. Then I would go with the 795 over the 806. The 806 doesn't load up as well with an S-Waver 168, Gantarel Jr, etc if you're sometimes looking to throw those smaller profile baits.

NEbucketmouth19 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I just got a 795 and paired it with a Tatula HD 200 and I'm in love for those smaller treble baits. Makes casting swavers (168 and 200), 9" slammers, and similar baits a dream. I even tried an 8" hudd today to test out the upper limit and was somewhat suprised how well it casted that. Definitely pushing it but with a slowed down casting motion it didn't feel like I was truly over exerting the rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
