Use code SANTA at kistlerrods.com for an extra 20% when you spend $249 or more.  All rods have already been marked down 20%.

Just ordered the Dobyns Sierra 734C from TW. Regular $180, they had it marked down to $120. But first I I bought a gift card at 10% off. So in the end I spent around $108 for the rod.

 

Anybody fish the Sierras? I have some Furys that I really like. How much of a step up is the Sierra?

I need some referrals for everyone's favorite online tackle shops, besides TW! I got burned on the TW Rico sale today. I knew they would go fast. So I was ready when it started. One of the six I wanted was sold out before I could even make it to check out, no biggie. So I got my order submitted for five, boom, confirmation email received. 30 min. later, I get an email saying one of the colors I ordered is now out of stock. Again I was a little bummed, but life goes on. Another 40 min. goes by, another email shows up saying two more of my colors are out of stock. Now I'm frustrated, and I need to find someone else to take my hard earned tackle money!

 

Dang, now TW has me eating my words. I sent an email expressing my frustration, next morning I got a phone call from TW expressing sincere apologies. They said it has been a popular sale every year, but this year, as anyone watching saw, it was CRAZY. I was happy to get a phone call and apology. They really do care about customer service over there, so they'll still be getting my hard earned money... and free advertising because of there stupid good deals on shirts, hats, etc. Is there an eating your words emoji? 

 

I didn't get any new online tackle store referrals btw.

Following, I've been tempted to pull the trigger on one of those as well. I'd like to compare them to my Powell rods. Looks like they restocked in the middle of the sale. Last I checked most were sold out, but now they're fully stocked! That's awesome.

The TB guys did a video on monday about spinning combos and Matt really likes the Sierra.  He said it is almost as sensitive as the Champion and it's a pretty big step up from the Fury line.  I think being able to get a Sierra now for basically the price of a Fury is a no-brainer.  My assumption is they are either discontinuing or updating the Sierra line so they are trying to clear out some inventory.  Unfortunately, I just bought another Fury from ALF last week with the ebay coupon for $92, else I would pull the trigger on the Sierra.

I have a few of the 733 and 734. I really, really like them. lightweight, sensitive, and have maybe a touch little softer action...with a slightly softer tip than say my 7'2' MH shimano cumura rods. at 108 bucks it'd be a challenge to find a comparable rod in my opinion.

I’m really tempted to get a dobyns Sierra especially since I kind of need a casting rod. If I got a 6’6 MH what next?? I’m thinking flipping stick or cranking/treble bait rod.

I own both a fury and Sierra, recently scored the Sierra in a local shop for $80 on Black Friday, couldn’t pass it up. The difference in sensitivity is incredible. I think you’ll really enjoy it.

Just an FYI, these come in split grip or full cork handle. The split grip has micro guides. Some may not know that.

 

And every model is either med/heavy, heavy or mag-heavy. Except for one. And that's the 6'8" medium/fast in the full cork handle. That's what I'd go with if you wanted a rod for trebles.

 

But for flipping, I'd get the 7'3" mag-heavy in split grip/micro guides.

I have one of these - the one with the higher bearing count, if that's the one these are, it's a nice reel for the $$$
