OK glide bait guys, a question about the 806.  Dobyns website says 2-8 oz, but at what weight does this rod really max out?  I am looking for a 200 size glide bait rod, somewhere in the 4-5 oz range.  Also considering the IRods Genesis2 in 8’ H moderate action.  Thanks yall!  

About 6- 7 oz lures for the 806SB and 5 oz for G2 Irod H, 807SB or XH is a better choice for lures over 5 oz to 7 oz range..... treble hook glides use Mono/coploy line. Both powers will work OK.

Agree with Tom's take on the 806. It's an excellent glide bait rod and you could push it to 8 as long as you're not too aggressive with your cast.

Perfect.  Thanks guys.  Its time for me to see what everyone loves so much about Dobyns Rods!

if you plan on buying a 806SB check out my thread, i'm having issues with the reel seat being loose on a brand new rod.
