I just bought a couple.. one still lost in the mail but may grab another heavy rod for flippin.. Fury or Sierra  ? And if  Sierra micro or not..  735. 

As for micro, it's your personal preference. If you run straight mono/copoly/fluoro then microguides are fine but I don't think they're a requirement. If you run braid or might ever run braid, microguides make it difficult to tie on a leader so I would not get microguides in that situation. And on a heavy rod, I would see myself switching reels between 50-65# braid and 17-20# fluoro depending on conditions. Mid-micro guides are a great compromise but unfortunately they are not an option on the Sierra line.

 

As far as Fury vs Sierra, if there is any way you can swing a Sierra do it. I got my son a couple of Sierras and they're very solid rods - maybe not the very best in the price range, but they're competitive. I got to compare some otherwise identical Fury and Sierra models in a store and I could tell simply by tapping the end on something that the Sierras were more sensitive.

Thanks for the input .. I don’t have a store to compare.. this rod will be straight braid. , should have mentioned that. In that price range was considering mojo bass as well but was focusing on Dobyns.

You mentioned in that price range .. what were u thinking.. again I don’t have a store that stocks a variety. So it’s here say and go from there.

The Mojo Bass is also a very solid option. I would go with a Mojo Bass over a Fury easily. They're super light - as light as many much more expensive rods in fact. If I had to compare the Mojo Bass to the Sierra, the Mojo Bass does transmit vibrations more, but I feel that past an initial weak bite I can tell what's going on more with the Sierra.

 

I personally would still go for the non micro guides version in the event you ever find yourself in a scenario wanting to tie on a leader unless you're 100% sure it's just for throwing frogs and jigs into heavy cover. I just think of the time where I bring it on my kayak, go to a weedy area and they aren't biting and then go skip docks and the 735C isn't such a complete broomstick where it couldn't pass as a casting jig rod if need be. That's just my personal take though, you know what you're doing with it better than I would.

You make that a tuff decision lol. So your saying the 735 Sierra can be a touch more versatile?

I have a 734... Looking for more of a heavy rod than a HM that the 734 really is. Yeah American Legacy have jumped on that deal already .. that’s the rod lost in mail .. not there fault. 

I have a Fury 735 coming in tomorrow, I'm mainly going to use for frogs.

 

 

Check out the TFO Pacemaker flipping rods on clearance at TW. 80.00 after the 20% off. Very good rod for that money.
