Super User ATA Posted March 3, 2022 Super User Posted March 3, 2022 Everything starts when I couldn't fit my Dobyns 908 SB rod in my truck. So I decide to sell it and buy shorter rod. I sold it $220 to a college student($260 was listing price). And bought Veritas Toro beast SB rod, Why? Because my reel is toro beat as well. When the rod arrived Except the heavy weight I love everything about it, But it was WHITE, And you cant get whiter than that. Here all crazy stuff starts, From looking for reel custom painters to look for new Toro S which is white and will be match with rod. Finally I bought the reel and I am going to get it in mail by today. And now I still had the Gray Toro Beats that was match with my Dobyns Champion 908, So what the hell I purchase a Dbyns 807 last night to match with the Gray Toro Beats. YES I f*** up, And add another swimbait combo to my arsenal just because I couldn't fit that 908 in my truck ?. Thats the whole story and I wanted to share with you. 1 4 Quote

So I decide to sell it Perhaps cut yourself some slack my friend, I actually expected to read that you had bought a new truck that your rod would fit into. And I suppose I would have been OK with that too. A-Jay 2 7 Quote

Super User deep Posted March 4, 2022 Super User Posted March 4, 2022 Should've kept the 908, sold the truck, and bought a 1997 Nissan Sentra. (I have a Dobyns 908, fits perfectly in the Sentra with the backseat down.) But then, my rods are all black, some shiny and some matte; reels are gold, silver or grey; and my kayak is brown. So what do I know. Good luck with the new combo. 1 Quote

schplurg Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 ATA, I'd like an updated photo of the back of your truck. Is it still full of gear? For anyone who hasn't seen the amount of gear in the photos ATA has posted, it's pretty incredible! 1 Quote

Something like that but there is so many changes, All my bass combos are in my home and ill take them only when go fishing, But the rest are there, Also I have LED lights set up for my night fishing.Going to take new pictures in day time, Right now I am going out try my new combo and cast some large swimbait. 2 Quote
Super User ATA Posted March 4, 2022 Author Super User Posted March 4, 2022 Today I was out and cast with it, It is perfect combo, Casting BBZ, Baitsanity, Deps 250 and etc.... Very good all around for 6oz to 16oz. Only thing you need to know the rod is heavy 11.1oz and head heavy, so it is not balance even after putting the reel on. Quote

Tom I didn't have the money at the time, I couldn't ask you to wait two weeks. Even now I don't know where to put my boat if I buy one, Because I have no Garage. Quote
