jasondaily Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 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 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted April 21, 2020 Super User Posted April 21, 2020 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. Quote

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. Quote
