I loved both! I had the ML version of the 795 and that handle was perfect length for me. The 806 was a ML version as well. That handle just a bit to long. I love those blanks and I'm not trying to bash Dobyns in any way just stating my experience with those two rods. Both had issues with the guides popping out. Could well have been me causing the problems. I am not above stating that. I did use a rod wrap on both of them. They where never in a boat getting banged around either. The service was awesome and they did re wrap both of them with new updated guides. I just couldnt look past getting them back crooked. I would def. get any one of those again if the guides were changed from Kigans. I really liked the action on those rods.
