How does the ALX Zolo compare to the Dobyns fury as far as sensitivity goes?

The Zolo is a lot more sensitive than the Fury.

I'd definetly hope so being twice the price!

  I have 2 Avid rods and an Avid-x. I only handled a Zodias a couple years ago, and the Avids are marginally better. The thing I like about the Avids is this: they will HANDLE THE FISH. Period. They are strong, robust rods. I fish where there are wipers. Those are hybrid bass, striper x white bass. They're one of the few fish that attack head-on, and they go like a runaway freight train. I might break my line, but the rods take it in stride. I've seen no rods the same weight and the same sensitivity that have the fight of the Avids. So when I fish a 10" Anaconda or Hang Ten where there are trees, the Avid does the job just fine. Great sensitivity, and great strength. And the St. Croix warranty is second to none.  jj

 

edit: It makes a huge difference which line you use, too. That's pretty much determined by your depth.
