I just got to mess around with my 805 flip, it's EXTREMELY lightweight for a 8ft heavy action rod! It also balances quite well with and without a reel. The only complaint I have is the butt section is a tad short. The action and power feel spot on from what I can tell, I'm gonna go test it out on the water tomorrow and I'll report back.
If cost wasn't an issue for me I would've definitely gotten the 795, but the 805 will do for now. I've read that the 795 has a very similar action and power but it's way more sensitive, lighter and it balances even better than the 805.
