New spinning rod under $100 did I make a good choice ?

Featured Replies

Just got a new spinning rod dobyns fury 7ft medium.  Took advantage of the tackle warehouse sale 20% off and got it for $95.  I went against my gut and grabbed it before the sale ended without doing much research. Did I make a good choice ?  It’s gonna be my bass finesse rod.

Well, if you made a mistake with a Fury, then I did too. Got a Fury 705CB as a dedicated crank/jerkbait rod with the sale. From everything I've read here, the Fury is a good rod in that price-range.

I bought a dobyns sierra 7ft casting rod last year it was my first baitcaster setup.  I didn’t fish with it hardly at all this year as I was primarily learning how to use and cast the baitcaster.  The rod seems pretty awesome but honestly I’m so new to fishing I don’t have anything to compare it too.  I can tell you though it’s a purdy rod.

You did ok.  Now fish the heck out of it.

You'll be happy with the Sierra, I have 3 of them. Which model did you buy?

Welcome Curt and you made a great choice.  The Fury 703 is light enough to drop shot and has the power for shakey heads, tubes, and is a gem for fishing wacky rigs and neko rigs. Enjoy it.

I have the same rod and I am using it as dedicated drop shot rod. I am very happy with it.

Dobyns are great... I have one fury cb casting rod, and two Sierra spinning (medium light and medium)... great rods and great customer service.

My whole lineup is Dobyns Fury rods!  I love them, and for the money I don't think there is much better, just my opinion though!

Funny the 705cb is the only fury rod I didn’t care for 

I've got that rod but the spinning one. Good rod. I've also got their glass champion rod. Now that one is super nice. I don't want to use anything else (I've got that is).

Will work fine, don't worry about it.
