Hows everyone doing? Im a kayak fisherman and looking to have 4 rods to cover all area of fishing. a spinning reel, medium, med-hvy and hvy. 

 

My question is.. can a hvy swimbait rod (dobyns fury 1/4-2oz lure weight) work as a flipping rod ( dobyns fury 3/4-2 1/4) or vice versa? 

 

I will use it primarily has a flipping rod like 80% and the other 20% for big heavy swimbait

I got confused about the lure weights you posted as here's what's posted on Dobyns site: http://dobynsrods.com/rods/fury/

Fury 765Flip - 1/4-2oz

Fury 805Flip/Punch - 3/8-2&1/2oz

Fury 795SB - 1-5oz

Fury 806SB - 2-8oz

 

1 & 3 are both rated MH/F

2 & 4 are both rated H/F

 

If you're looking at smaller swimbaits - I'd go with the 805 and use it for both techniques.

If you're looking for larger swimbaits, get the 795 or 806 and get a 734C - rated Heavy by Dobyns, but other manufacturers rate that lure range as a MH - for flipping.

Correct, I put the wrong information. swimbait rod is med/hvy... but it sounds like the rods can be used for both techniques. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you.
