Are you able to cast far with that rod?
Would the first rod you showed with a shimano Slx dc with 30lb braid work?
What handle did you get for the cardiff ?
might try a little piece of duct tape on the line clicker button to cushion it if you don't use the line clicker thanks for sharing .
I have the okuma guide select rod, with 301 Cardiff. Pretty solid.
I can't seem to find the cardiff 401a where I live. But i can find a CORVALUS CVL 400. They seem to have similar specs? Would this work?
New to big stuff: Got the new MB 835 SB..wondering if the Shimano Cardiff will be okay for some of the faster moving jointed stuff? Thanks!
I have the 795, and 806, and also a 13 fishing Defy, and it's my second one. The first one was STIFF but the single foot guides, slipped out. They sent me version 2 and they fixed the guides with double foot all the way to the top which was great but they made it with the same action of the 806 fury! To soft for Hudds in my opinion. This tax return looks like I'm grabbing a new Swimbait rod! Lol
That Looks Like A Deps 250
That dockrat has been discontinued for years, but is a great striper bait. Throw that thing and go catch a giant. Check out the okuma sbx rod sometime. That carbon handle is the beez knees. Your savage gear rod is very simillar to the okuma guide select/sbx carbon rod.
How does the fury throw the deps 250? I need something that can bomb the 250
How much for that giant 10 ounce bait?
My reel of choice is a Piscifun Alijos 300. Best budget reel with the Fury is the best imo. But damn good vid and glad your set up is working well for you
