I’d probably buy one if they had a med power casting rod The 703c is effectively a Medium by most people's standards despite it's MH given rating as dobyns are commonly thought to be 1/2 to a full power below ratings. In practice it really is just about perfect for 1/4-3/4oz lures and for a wide variety of techniques.

Great value rod. Great lifetime warranty. For the price - unmatched. Do you like the fury or Loomis E6 better? Both have lifetime warranties. If you want to spend a couple more bucks the E6 is where it's at. Balance, feel, power for heavier baits but maintains great accuracy with smaller baits as well. Really, really excellent rod. I am the opposite,, I like the Fury better than the E6.

My complete lineup is Fury rods and I absolutely love them. Very strong, sensitive and all around reliable rods. By far best rod for around the $100 price point

Been using them for 3 years and for the money they are hard to beat.

I checked out a heavy action @ Academy a few days ago and it felt light and well built.

I've used them a lot in saltwater. Caught snook, tarpon, snapper and sharks on them. Haven't broke one yet.

How do they compare to the Falcon Bucoo? fury’s are 600% better rods than the bucco. Bucco’s used to be alright but I believe they switched the way they’re made and I’ve broken a couple since they changed. Dobyns are definitely the best way to go and a Texas company can’t beat it
Thanking the lord for another day on the water
