I'm pretty new to baitcasters so I'm looking for some input. I picked up an Abu Black Max combo about a month ago to mess around with and to see if I'd even like that type of reel. I paired it with some Power Pro 15lb, got it dialed in and now I love it. It was tough getting it dialed in but once I kinda figured out what I was wanting to do its ended up being a pretty nice setup. Especially for the money.
Fast forward to 2 days ago and I found a $200 Gander Mountain gift card I had misplaced. I was eyeballing a Lew's TP G. They had it for $199 but I found it at another online retailer for $153. So I sold the gift card to my brother for a $20 hit, took that money and ordered the reel and some Power Pro 30lb.
Now I need to find a rod. I'm pretty sold on the Dobyns Fury. Mostly because of the cost but I also can't find any bad reviews on it. Here's my dilemma, I can't afford 3 or 4 different setups so I'm looking for thoughts on which Fury to go with. I'm thinking either a 704c, 705c, or 735c. It will pretty much need to do everything except the ultralight stuff. I'll use the Abu for that.
I've already done a bunch of Google research. That's how I've narrowed my choices but I'm open to others. I'm not even sure if anyone here has experience with these particular rods but BFC is pretty much the only forum I use for info like this. Too much bs on others.
If you've read all of this thanks for taking the time and I'd appreciate any advice, criticisms on what I've already bought, or just thoughts in general.
