Super User Columbia Craw Posted March 16, 2022 Super User Posted March 16, 2022 I picked up two of the new Maverick Series casting rods. If anyone is interested I’ll post some photos and comments. 3 Quote
Aaron_H Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Please do! I've been eyeing them, curious to see how they compare to the Fury as well as where they sit in comparison to other rods at the $99 price point. Quote
Super User DitchPanda Posted March 17, 2022 Super User Posted March 17, 2022 I'm interested as well Quote
Derek1 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Love seeing pics of new gear, and fish on them. Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted March 17, 2022 Author Super User Posted March 17, 2022 So I picked up the 704C 735C and they will at some point go to our club’s student anglers. The first thing I noted was how light they are. Both are balanced really well, typical Dobyns. Blanks are lightly sanded but you can still feel the ridges from the compression wrap, a little smoother than the Kadens. Guides appear to be the same as used on the Fury series. Ample guides ( listening Daiwa?) and laser straight placement. Clean wraps and apoxy. Overall Fuji reel seat and blue accents. Foam grips are large enough for bigger hands. Taper and powers are consistent with the Fury equivalents. I’m pretty impressed and at 99 bucks and free shipping from Dobyns web site, these are a really really good value. Now to fish them some. 6 Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted March 17, 2022 Super User Posted March 17, 2022 At this price point , the best value may be for reaction type lure applications where a great deal of sensitivity is not as important . The Maverick series comes in a cranking model (MK 705CB) so I will be curious how it may compare to the Fury 705CB cranking rod ? 1 Quote
ironbjorn Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 I swore off spinning rods but I don't want to take BFS to the creeks where I wade, fall, set things on rocks, etc. Been eyeing a Maverick spinning rod for this purpose. Quote

I love my FR705CB but the grip is less comfortable than some of my other rods. If the Maverick's EVA grip has enough give in it without a huge sacrifice in sensitivity, I could see replacing it.

lunkerboss923 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Yep, the 705CB looks very appealing to me. Quote

WackyWormNedRig Posted July 28, 2024 Posted July 28, 2024 As someone fishes with fury and sierra. How is the maverick and how has it held up so far? 1 Quote
