Sor Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I know the Fury rods are Dobyns' new budget oriented line. I wonder if anyone has used the fury swimbait rod and what are your thoughts on the rod if you have used it? I wanted to get a new swimbait rod but i didn't want to break the bank.

danthefisherman Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I've been looking at these forever too! Can't decide between this and the Okuma Guide Select...argh! Many guys on here say that this ranks close to the more-expensive champion line. Also have heard that lure rating is overrated and handles baits up to 3.5 oz better. Other than this, I've only heard good things about it! Tackle Warehouse is having their 20% off Black Friday sale soon if your interested.There have been multiple posts covering this topic...try the search bar if you haven't already!

Top Ramen Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I love mine. Fishes just like the regular 795. willsochill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3bassin Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I absolutely love mine. I have several of the dobyns champions and like the fury as much if not more than my other 795. I have been throwing the phoneyfrog glide on it and it has handled it fine. I'm not sure of the weight of the bait but it's 4-5oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as swimbait rods I've only ever used the guide select (bought it last winter), but I'd say it is also overrate. I tried a 4oz savage gear real trout and I wouldn't go any heavier personally.

Sor Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks guys! I'll mainly throw baits that top out at 4oz so it might just the right rod for me. I'll definitely consider getting one and i will keep doing my research haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that the guide selects are tip heavy and the fury's are a more balanced rod in the price range. just something to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKSlide Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I have two of these rods now and will get another one. They are great rods! I don't throw baits over 4 oz but I everything I do throw is perfect on the Fury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkH024 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Just so there is no confusion to the OP, but the rod is a 5 power, not a 6. I have one, and it is a great rod for the price. I'd like to get another at some point. I also have a Champ 806 which you can tell the difference between backbone on the 795 to the 806.

evilcatfish Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I recently sold off a couple higher end rods and picked up one of these since I don't throw much over 4oz these days anyway. So far it seems like an excellent rod for the price. I was worried I'd gotten to accustomed to spiral wraps and longer handles but the transition has been easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookedonbigbaits Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 This is my go to rod for baits in the 1-3 oz range. Some light flouro and this thing will bomb them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCMD Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Great rod for any price, but it's a helluva deal considering how well it performs at the price point. I fish that rod regularly and love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b8thrwr Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 great rod for the money. you wont be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETBA Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I bought one, used it for several months and liked it enough to buy another. I use em for baits in the 1-3 oz range(freestyle shads and gills, rising sons, baby wakes). It's definitely worth the price IMO.

T Dot Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I mainly have the Champion series rods. I started from Gen1 until present. I have yet to try/get a hold of these Fury rods. I hear good things about them and this thread might possibly make me get a couple. Thanks for posting/sharing everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
