I just bought a champion mike long 795 from a member here and used it for the first time yesterday. My primary purpose for that rod is going to be the rig. It's a very sweet rod for it based on my initial outing. You can actually cast the bait with it instead of having to feel like you have to lob it. It has a nice soft tip still. The fish I cought were buttoned up very well. I have not fished the fury, but I really was impressed with that champion. It's my first dobyns I have owned.
