Fury 703

Featured Replies

About to buy a few furys. I was wandering if the 703 would work ok for primary topwater rod but also a shallow mid depth cranking rod. If not I'm going to get the 705cb but they have some refurbished 703s, have heard it has a soft tip.

I like the 703. Its a great all-around rod

It's still going to have a fast tip. If you want a faster tip for your cranks (as opposed to a moderate fast) then it'll do ya just fine. Here is a comparison of a 703c and Champion 684cb. As you can see the bends are much different. I love this 684cb for squarebills and shallow cranks, so I would recommend the 705cb over the 703.

For some reason, the picture is upside down, but you can still see the difference

The fury (and savvy) have a slower action than the champ 703. The 703 will work just fine for walking baits/whopper plopper 90s(not enough rod for the 130), buzz baits, squarebills and lipless cranks. No idea about mid cranks but I imagine it will suffice in the 6-8 range. Paul Mueller uses or used the savvy 733 for squarebills on some elite series event. I use the savvy 733 over the champ 705 CB for ripping traps. I would have no issues using it for squarebills.

The 703 will work better than just Okay.  If you can grab a deal on a refurb 703, that's a great option.  Build your arsenal around that rod. "The best place to start is at the beginning..":)

Thanks guys had to sale all my kistlers, even my zbone? But I'm rebuilding now and have two fury swimbait rods and like them so I thought I'd go with the fury series.

I had a fury 705cb and quickly sold it. That sucker was too moderate for me. I had a champ 703 and I liked it a lot. It worked great for topwater and squarebills.

Yea I'm not crazy about real moderate rods, infact I've never cranked with a cranking rod I used a worm and jig KLX but they are a little soft for a worm rod.
