Swimbait Rod

I've got my Dobyns Fury FR806SB and paired it with the Shimano Cardiff 301a. I put a 8" Hud on which is just around 5 ounces, I believe. The 8" Hud feels a tad heavy on the rod, but the rod had no problems loading up and tossing the beast swimbait out there.  The rod is rated 2-8 ounces.

Living in Michigan, we got a couple 50 degree days and the fact that it's just the beginning of March here, makes for bad bass fishing days. However, I could not help myself so I took the new set up out for just a few minutes to toss the Hud out a few times to get a feel for it.  I think it's the best rod you can get for 120 dollars, period. But that's my opinion and it would not be fair to give an opinion until I get out in good bass fishing weather and catch a few first.  Also have to see how these Fury rods hold up after a couple years. To me, the blank itself is fantastic and pretty good quality.  The guides line up perfectly.  My complaint is where the hook keeper is placed, which is not really a big deal, and the foam handle is not the best material.  But the rod is only 120 and the blank is worth over 200 dollars, in my opinion. 

I would recommend the FR806SB to anyone over any swimbait rod in the same price range.
