TheKodyTaylor Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Looking into buying my first swimbait rod and cant decide between a Fury 795 or 806. The smallest size bait i will throw will by a Gantarel Jr. (1.5oz) and was wondering if the 806 is too much rod for the bait, and whats the max realistic weight max for the 806. But i also know i will start wanting to throw bigger baits and knew the 795 would only take me so far. planned on pairing it with a Cardiff 300. i also mostly fish out of my kayak. Thanks everyone and sorry for the long post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honkytonk Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I have the 795 and it's an awesome rod for small to medium baits. I'd say realistically 3.5 ounces is its max. Can't speak for the 806 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskickinrednick Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 795 1-3.5oz 806 3-6oz just depends on the baits your gonna throw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basskickinrednick Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 You can always throw lighter baits on the 806 but wouldn't recommend throwing heavier baits on the 795 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKodyTaylor Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 i have read Dobyns isnt exactly accurate on their ratings whats the lowest and highest i can get away with the 806, really leaning that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for the 806 Ditto. It depends on the size of the bait you see yourself fishing. The 795 would throw the ganteral jr adequately, but I would definitely look into the 806 if you want to throw 8" hudds, medium sized glides, etc. From my experience the Fury 795 cuts off right before that "medium" swimbait range basskickinrednick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YELOSUB Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I throw my Deps 250 on my 806 and love it...Now it's the Championship series but it should be the same...I do own the 795 Fury and love the rod but get the 806 cuz you'll be throwing bigger baits in no time... fishnchips35, basskickinrednick and TheKodyTaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the rod throw it easily or is it pushing it? I know the 250 weighs 6.5 ounces and i cant imagine me throwing anything bigger than the 250 honestly and if it can handle that i shouldnt have any worries of not having enough rod power for any bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELOSUB Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I have been throwing it for a few years without any issues...Plus I love the way the rod loads up and with the 250 being a treble bait I feel I stick more fish with it...Of course the 867 would be ideal but they don't make the Fury in that model (yet) but the 806 handles the 250 just the way I like it!

timcauliffe Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 806. I've thrown Shellcracker G2's on it without an issue. zanwhite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanwhite Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I've been fishing my 5" tt stubby on an 806 fury the past few weeks. Throwing a gantarel and gigantarel is comfortable on it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dheath2 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Is the 806 too much rod for a taquito or RP G2 shiner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
