PressuredFishing Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 Hey there, thought I'd share the combo I chose based on all of you guys, met a really nice guy selling a used dobyns fury swimbajt rod for $10 and a abu garcia ambassadeur s600cl rocket 6:3:1 made in sweeden for 30, budget 40 dollar combo for a college kid. 5 Quote

Super User ATA Posted October 9, 2021 Super User Posted October 9, 2021 that would work for it just fine, good choice and saving money. I have two combos for swimbaits, the one for 6" and s-wavwer is Curado XXH 8' rod with Curado DC 150 size. 1 Quote

NavyToad Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 You done good. I’m using an old Browning Vectra flippin’ stick and an Abu 4601c4 that I had layin’ around. It works, just barely. The reel’s fine, but I need a real swimbait rod. No $10 deal around here. 1 Quote
Drew03cmc Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Holy hell. I thought I did good buying my Fury 795 on sale last month for $99 from Academy. That's a great deal. 1 Quote

Phil77 Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Can't speak for the rod but that reel will do a great job at that gear ratio for the baits you're throwing. 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted October 11, 2021 Super User Posted October 11, 2021 Mounting a reel onto a rod is assembling a rod and reel combo, not building it! Tom 1 1 Quote

Yeah went out today, threw them a mile and wasn't to slow or too fast, it's comfortable to palm and the rod doesn't feel overpowered by the baits. Quote
