Thinking of upgrading my old fury 703c to a sierra 703c mostly for throwing moving baits and topwaters and as an all around rod in general. Does anyone know if they have similiar actions to eachother?

My son has a Dobyns Fury 733c casting rod and I have two Dobyns Sierra 703sf spinning rods. He loves his Fury and I like my Sierra's but I am not sure my rods are worth $50 more than his. In addition, I am not sure I am giving you the best comparison because I am comparing Spinning and casting rods, but my Sierras seem more like moderate fast rods and his Fury seems like a fast action rod. It might be due to the difference in nature of spinning and casting rods. They are both durable and both use good components but my Sierras feel kind of heavy. I got my Sierras on a VERY GOOD sale! I probably would not buy them at regular price. Right now, if buying a casting rod, I would get a Fury Rod or a mid- upper end Daiwa rod or a St. Croix BassX. I would play with them all in the store first though. Again, the Dobyns Sierra Casting rods may be a whole different animal than the Sierra Spinning rod. I hope that provokes thought but I feel sure you will need more info. Good luck on your next rod choice.

Some of the Sierras have a little bit more tip, case in point the 704C but the 703C seems to be very similar in action in both lines. The Kaden line is essentially the Sierra line with even more tip.

 

How do they compare? The Sierra line is definitely a bit more sensitive than the same rod in the Fury line, and if I was buying a 703C for the first time, I would definitely say the Sierra is worth the extra cash. Considering you have a Fury 703C already, stepping up one line is going to be a little harder sell although if it's a rod you use a lot or if you could find use for two 703Cs, then I could justify it. Also the Fury is fine for moving baits and topwaters, if you were fishing weightless plastics then it would be more worthwhile to me as well. Just something to think about.

The Daiwa Tatula rods are great! I have one Tatula Elite with AGS guides, and that rod is all around pretty great as well.

 

I have no experience fishing the Bass X rods, but I would spend the extra ~$30 for the Mojo Bass. They have a much more sensitive blank.

The Fury is a faster action but the difference is negligible.

I found it the opposite.
