Line size for dobyns fury 735c
Agreed. But I was talking about jigs. It's clear pressured water. Docks, big rocks, lots of big laydowns, and thick grass. I will be using other setups most of the time but want to throw a big jig for some bigger bites. Last time I was using 50lb braid with no bites. The spinning rod with nearly the same jig just super finesse with 15lb braid to 10lb mono caught 20 bass. I know it has somthm to do with the weight of the jig as well. This would be my fist time experimenting with a leader and I'm kind of leaning away from it. I guess what I'm on the search for now is finesse jigs with a lighter hook that I can throw with my 704c. 15lb floro? Or maybe just straight 20 lb on the 735c........

Line size for dobyns fury 735c
1/2 - 3/4 oz siebert jigs arkie and football. I like a good strong hookset for weedless jigs, and I know you can't beat braid for that, but really like the stretch factor and invisibility and abrasion resistance of a mono or flouro. Currently the strongest leader I had was 14 lb and 16 lb and I broke the 14 once on a Hookset but I think it was a log possibly a pike that I set into, really interested in what pound test for the braids to leader.

Line size for dobyns fury 735c
What leader line size would you use using braid to leader on a fury 735c? Feeling comfortable not breaking off on jig hooksets. the rod is mag heavy with a good tip Using 40 or 50lb braid. The Mono/floro is for fishing wood and rocks. Or clear water pitching jigs Also was thinking of trying straight mono/ floro and thinking 17 would be good, maybe 20 I really like stren original so was thinking 17 or 20. But is there another low price mono with smaller diameter that will go better through the guides? Thanks

Confession: I never catch bass on jig in my life.
Good luck on your endeavor. I would recommend fishing it slower than you would think, with long pauses or more aggressive than you'd think lol with hard rips of the rod and use a good trailer like a grub or a craw that kicks. I like the rage tail Menace or double tail grub. Green pumpkin or black and blue And I've only caught a few bass with a lipless crank, not from lack of trying

Why are bass pacing along the shoreline and not biting?
Spawning bass

What Is The Cheapest Option?
Check craigslist and look for a used kayak. Or the lifetime teton angler is a really good kayak, you can get cheaper but for fishing its a good choice. my brother has one and I almost like it better than my vibe yellowfin which was twice the cost.

Weed less hooks
You have to specify what kind of hook, there are lots of different weedless hooks. And by regular hook do you mean wide gap worm hook? That will help people better respond

How easy is this to fix by myself?
Yes, you can just replace the whole tip you take a lighter and heat it up and it should pull off. And you can buy a tip repair kit usually at Walmart or any other fishing store it comes with the glue and you just read the directions and glue new one back on. Good luck

Flooded Waters Bait of Choice
White and or chartruse is normally a good choice, or black. someone just posted the same question lol. Try fishing extremely shallow, if they don't want the spinner bait Ive had good luck using using a paddletail swimbait same colors

Flooded Water Lure Selection
Spinnerbait, you probably want to cover some water. And I've had luck very shallow after the water comes up ontop of the bank
