Fury 705cb or Mag TS.. great prices at TW.

 

Do you have any experience with the two Magnesium TS cranking models TW has for sale right now?  At first I was leaning heavily towards the 7' MH one, but began to have second thoughts after someone earlier in this thread said he thought the sensitivity on the Kistler MH crankbait rods wasn't so good with lighter cranks.  It also seems there are mixed reviews on customer service with Kistler.  The Dobyns Fury 705CB is definitely one I'm interested in too

I use 3 CB rods right now and about to add a 4th in the spring for those 8xds and 10xds but I have two of the Abu Veritas winch rods and I love them. I have the 7' for square bills and shallower cranks and the 7'6 for the deeper cranks and soon to be 7'11 for the super deep divers even thought the 7'6 handled them, I think the extra casting distance is worth it. I also fish a Falcon Bucoo 7' heavy for lipless cranks suggested by the lipless master Chris McCall and it is sweet being able to rip it out of the grass so fast.  All under 100 but I own 4 Mojo Bass rods and was very temped to try their CB rods out, because I have heard nothing but good things.  

 

Also if you want to hear McCall talk about lipless rods, he is on the FLW podcast, I think episode 87. 

What do you want to know? Obviously it's not the latest or the greatest. Kinda heavy too. But works well for what I use it for- small treble hook baits, dropshots, blade baits. Usually with braid + leader, sometimes with fluoro.

I was thinking about getting one (7ft M Fast) for mid diving Crankbaits. Wiggle warts, Bomber Fat Frees, 3DB, 3XD, Little Johns, ECT. I like my other BPS rods, especially the PH Grip and I like their value for the money, especially used or on sale. Never been worried about latest and greatest. The trailing edge is usually cheaper.
