Veritas or Fury Jig Rod?

I know this is an older thread but for what it's worth I threw jigs on a Veritas 2.0 7'3 MH/F last year.. it did ok for me, sensitivity was lacking as far as feeling what your jig is doing, but bites stood out well. Definitely not a traditional MH power, it's more like a Heavy and is stupid powerful.. while I mostly enjoyed it, I'll never own one again, too many better rods out there at the same price. 

I just hear so many people say the Abu rods run stiffer. Also personally not a fan. Several years ago they were really popular for the $100 range but competition has exploded. I will say, when they go on sale for 70-80 bucks the discussion changes.

The Dobyns Savy and Sierra lines are the same blank materials, just different guides and cosmetics.  Sensitivity between them and a Fury is negligible if any.

Fury vs Veritas for jigs.  I'd go Fury with a big however...  

I have owned Champion 734, 705 and Fury 735 models, 2 of my closest friends are Dobyns Pro Staffers so I have used most of the lines/models.  A 734 would be only "ok" for smaller jigs, but no way would I use it for anything over 1/2+trailer or with a big hook.  735 would be good for like 3/4oz total weights as would the 705. 

Dobyns do have a more moderate taper to them (like Phenix, Powell, Lamiglas) than you would get with a Shimano, St Croix or Abu rod, so understand that going in, your style or feel may not get along with them.  I guess I am trying to say that in the Fury line I don't think there is a really good jig rod (my opinion).  Their 744 Champion and 745 Extreme, well those are amazing jig rods, but have no comparable model in the Fury or Sierra lines.
