Anyways, you all have been such a great help and I appreciate it.  I am one of those VERY indecisive guys that thinks something over 2342342342525235632 times before making a purchase.

 

Thanks!!!

We can understand that as many of us are the same way. Keep us updated and let us know what you decided to go with or if you need any help.

You have a lot of spinning rods to choose from. Your current rod is slow too moderate action that will cast crankbaits but poor bottom contract lure feedback.

Dobyns FR703S Fury and Major Craft NASc701M are both good choices in the $120 price range. Major Craft has a forward grip that I prefer, Dobyns doesn't, that depends on personal choice.

Shimano Sahara FE 2500 and a good reel at the price.

Hey y'all!

 

After research, I'm pretty sure that I am going with the Dobyns Fury.  However, I am  still torn between the 6'6 M/F (FR 663SF ) and the 7'0" M/F (FR 703SF).  I do bank fish 95% of the time and perhaps the 6' 6" is better for me but for some reason I feel that the 7'0" gives that extra sensitivity at the tip vs the shorter, allowing me to feel/see any bites when slowly reeling in, per say, a weightless brush hog (I usually fish weightless soft plastics more than anything and the occasional 1/8 bullet added if windy).  

 

I am mainly worried about those that say that the power in the Fury line is lighter than advertised.  Should I be going the next step up from medium to obtain medium action?  or would going Medium still be OK?

 

Feel free to further chime in, please.  

 

As always, thanks!!

Everyone will have their favorite and mine is a 7' Medium Carbonlite for $100 and a Shimano Sahara C3000Hg 6.2:1 spinning reel, $80, I jus picked up at Cabelas at the classic sale.
