Hello all, 

 

I have two carbonlite 2.0 rods that have become my favorite rods. The 6'8" MXF spinning and 6'9" MH-XF casting rod. 

 

I recently purchased a used Dobyns Fury 703c for use with 3/8oz spinnerbaits and squarebills in light to moderate cover at large ponds and small lakes. I bought the rod as I have read many good things about it. I have not fished much with it, but I like the action and power. But it's labeled as a medium heavy fast actin, however it feels like a medium fast to me. I like the rod, but I really do prefer the Winn grips of the carbonlite rods. Making me second guess the Fury purchase. 

 

Does anyone have experience with both the dobyns fury 703c and the carbonlite 2.0 7' M-f casting rod. Looking to see is the action and power are similar. I know @OnthePotomac highly recommend the rod, which I completely trust as he steered me towards the carbonlite rods in the first place (thank you by the way). Just looking to see if they have the same handling characteristics.

 

Thanks 

Dobyns casting rods are actually one rank down from others. 3 is actually a medium, 4 is actually a medium heavy and 5 is actually a heavy compared to Diawa/Okuma/etc.

 

703 is a great jerk/wacky rod. You'd want the 704 for spinners/chatters.
