New Combo any suggjestions

Featured Replies

I was thinking about getting a Dobyns Fury casting rod in a 7 medium heavy with a Shimano Casitas 6.3:1 gear ratio I just started fishing last summer and want to get a good baitcasting reel and rod need help deciding if that would be a good fit or not thanks  

a 7ft medium heavy is a great all around bait casting rod, it wold cover most applications. i would go with a 7 gear ratio casitas though. 

The Casitas and Fury is a excellent combo choice in my humble opinion! Agree with Ladybass though, 7.2:1 is spot on unless your planning on using deep crank baits a lot. Then go with the 6.3:1.

My first combo was a 7:1:1 Promax n Emotion MH. That pairing will allow you to fish more styles than going with a 6:3:1. You can frog, topwater, jig, flippin, lipeless cranks, shallow cranks, and swimbaits.

I, too, prefer 7.1:1 ratio for baitcasting, good

all-around gear ratio (IMHO).

 

Your setup thoughts look good otherwise, though

I have no experience with Dobyns. I can recommend

Bass Pro Carbonlites, St. Croix Premiere, among

brands I use....

I'd recommend a Dobyns Fury 704 or 734 

To piggy back of TH-Outdoors, I would recommend the 704 or 734 as well. Reason why is their rods fish 1 power lighter than advertised. Meaning the 703 or 733 is more like a Medium. The 704 or 734 is more like a MH even though it says Heavy.

 

I have a Savvy 734 and it is an amazing all round rod.
