It loads it perfectly. chevro1et and Alex 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppabass Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Got my falcon lowrider in. Lifetime guarantee, nice handle length, came with free rod sock. I never used one of these micro guide rods, can't wait to try it. I already have an awesome custom fiberglass rod married to a curado for the g2 but it is rated to 1 oz. I am hoping this great g2 rod also extends my bait options as Karl suggested in his vid. I like this rod I understand it is a fiberglass blend, and priced nicely under $150. I can understand why braid users would like this one since it has tangle free guides too.

Micro guides are great for single line selection but don't usually play nice with a braid to leader setup, unless the connection knot never enters the guides. Good looking rod, Falcon has a great reputation for good reason from what I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good looking rod, Falcon has a great reputation for good reason from what I understand. Good point makes sense. Karl does a long leader connection that enters reel tho. I don't intend to do one, but would check vid to see how he does it. I think the answer has to do with braid being so darn thin these days.

I like the build and action better on the MVT line but that outbreak 806 has been a killer rod That's reassuring to me, as I have the 806 Departure which is built on the same blank as the Outbreak. I got it in the fall and have only thrown single hook baits on it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I successfully throw a GanCraft OSA 115 (1.7oz) on my LDC heavy, the MH would be right in the sweet spot tho. Trying to decide between the LDC H or MH. I mostly throw TK’s, negos, wakes and 6” wcz. I use a 795 SB dobyns good for all that but i wouldn’t wanna use it for anything over 3.5oz. Think that LDC MH will be a little stouter than the comparable dobyns?

I have never fished a Dobyns so I can't make a comparison there. I find the LDC heavy to be really versatile. DirtySouthGlide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynem Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 The Dobyns 795MT (short handle) works well for baits like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
