Everything you said about the Dobyns fury 795 and 806 is spot on! I have both rods and the 806 is by far my favorite! It's affordable, well-made, and parabolic enough to keep fish pinned! I use my 806sb more than my Megabass Levante Leviathan F10-711LV which is twice the price of the fury swimbait model. Great Review!
Man I can't even imagine the excitement and energy that would be oozing from a little bass hunter boat with you and Epic Eric on it. Haha. Great footage at the end 😂
I just bought a Jenko Savant a few weeks ago and put a Daiwa Tatula 200HD on it. Makes for a very nice combo. Been keeping my eyes open for a good deal on a tiny klash and had to take you up on you’re offer. Thanks.
That's some great information not normally shared. Thank you, I'm just starting this glide thing out and have a St Croix glass 7' 10" from years ago that seems to handle a 6th Sense glide okay. It's too dang heavy though.
One of my Favorite (small) swimbait rods is the new Shimano 7’3” SLX A swimbait rod. I use it for the Gantarel and Baitsanity gill. I fish from a kick boat and float tube. It’s allows for precise placement of the Bait if need be.
@@andyd834 I use what most people are using, the 7’3” Shimano SLX Swimbait rod, 795 Dobyns for my smaller Swimbaits and 806 and 807 Dobyns larger hardbaits and soft baits
I just got my TKs from Mike Tuesday and I almost got around a 4-5lber from the bank at Bear Lake. I had three that were following it. I finally ran out of water and got hung on a tree but the big one almost came up and swiped it off the tree. He was coming in hot for sure.
I got an extra heavy swimbait rod to use, I’m worried it’s just too stiff. But it was really expensive and feels a bit to late to try and get a softer one.
F5 x Swimbait Universe collab rod is the best k9 stick on the market, it works for the TK too but really shines for the k9. The 795 doesnt cut it for the k9 imo 4 ounces is really at its top range
Actually it's not that you want the rod to bend when the fish shakes and pulls, you want the UNLOAD of the rod to be delayed, so that there is constant pressure on the hooks so there's less slack in the line, when the fish throws slack at you by jumping or throwing headshakes at you. If your rod is too fast, when the fish jumps and throws slack at you, the fast action rod springs back too quickly and actually allows the fish to put slack in your line. I also agree that the Dobyns 795 is a very good rod for those 1.5-3.5oz glides. It's also one of my favorite Alabama rig rods as well.
My 806 was way under powered. Great for 2 to 3ish oz lures but 4 or over is just too much. Could barely toss a deps 250 on mine. But great for TK and the citizen and battles shad. Wish they made an 807.
@@matthewotis3594 I throw the Klash 9 on my 795SB. Does it load up the rod? Yes! Has it broken it? No. It bomb casts it too. Most Americans aren't used to true parabolic rods and don't feel comfortable loading them. I follow guys who throw 6 oz on the 806.
@thesonorandesertangler k9 is fine. It's when you start throwing 250 and up lures. K9 doesn't weigh 8oz. I have 2 fury 806s and a few big baits. The baitsanity 250 knock off is too much. It's not supposed to 'load up' down through the handle and make weird sounds. Up to 5oz they're great but 8oz is bullshit. Just my experience though. To each their own. It doesn't like the 7" BAMF shad either. But it's a superb rod up to 4oz. Got an okuma guide select for my heavy stuff. Double footed guides to the end. Great action but it gets heavy with my lexa 300 throwing plus size swimbaits. The 806 is great for the citizens and battles shad though I can throw them on my Ark Invoker pro mag med rod as well. I flip and throw big jigs on my 806s too. Great parabolic bend from half to 4oz. 5oz and up it's loading up too much for me but hey, who am I.
I love your videos. You have so much passion for fishing you are not pushing a product at us because they sponsor you. It’s refreshing to watch someone who just loves fishing. I just ordered a TK from you my question is do I need to change out the hooks or are stock hooks Quality hooks? Thank you
I genuinely care about people and have ZERO sponsors lol, I ain’t brand loyal, I use what works, the products I believe in I’m passionate about because of 10 years of guiding and testing! Stock hooks are awesome on this bait, once your stock hooks are ready to be swapped I’d swap to the same hook fresh out of the box! 👊🏽🙌🏽
I really appreciate you getting back to me man it’s awesome that you took time out of your day to respond. Keep putting out your videos and I will always watch them Thank you
So you discover now that forgiving/ progressive rods are best to keep the fish pinned? OMG OMG OMG! What a breaking new. I'm wondering how much you get paid for saying such craps? Cause I can do it too, as anybody else.

Hmm, I have a gantarel Jr and the explorer gill and was wonder what rod would be good for those. How do you think a shellcracker would do on it?

Also you might look into the IRod Genesis series.
Can’t wait to get my tiny klash. Thanks.
YES!! Smash a giant bro!!
Austin what type of line and line size do you recommend for the TKs
Ordered mine a few days ago, should be here early next week! First TK
I highly recommend the iRod Genesis 3 swimbait rod specifically the Sniper Swim swimbait rod and the jr. Swimbait rod. Perfect and good price.
Hey was that Dobyns795 a med hvy or heavy?
Im confused, on tackle warehouse they got the Dobyns 795 and 806 but in two models, the fury. Or champion rods ? Thanks
It’s the same blank. I like the fury
@@americasoutdoorfam thank you bro for quick reply, I'll go with fury , plus its cheaper on tackle warehouse
I’m new to the swim bait game so I’m guessing my Gloomis 965 8ft Med/heavy rod wasn’t the right choice to get?

Sick dude!! You’ll convert those boogers!
The 794sb crushes the 795 for the Tiny Klash, 795 is good for a-rigs, 806 for Klash 9
Awesome!
Ok I just got a tiny klash, will the 795 run it?
@@andyd834 of course the 795 will work wonderful, the 794 though, it's the bees knees for the tk
Y’all got me spinning
I think the 795 is better for the TK imo its just prefrence between those 2 sticks @andyd834
What pound line are you throwing the Tiny Klash?
That was a beast! I recognize that place I think.
Oh you know that place!
Irod Genesis III Sniper Swimbait. It's Moderate Fast. Works great on TK's and on Deps 175's

Yeah that’s a great explanation! It’s really been a game changer for me!
Tiny klash vibes but I’m dedicated to chasing Darter bites at this time!
Will an 806 be overkill for a Tiny Klash?
For sure!
My Dobyns 795SB is a beast 🔥🔥🔥

what line do you use
17lb p-line tactical with TK
@@americasoutdoorfam what size reel and do you use backing
I back all reels. Tatula 200 7.3:1 👍🏼
Thanks for the help want to get in to swim baits and want to do it right.
What would be the biggest bait you would throw on the 795?
If worst came to worst you could probably throw a deps 250 but wouldn’t recommend it
@@americasoutdoorfam alright will definitely will keep that in mind.I probably won't throw anything bigger than 3.5 ounces.
The 806 wont touch 6oz not to mention 8. I own 2 of them. Way underpowered. But still excellent.
So you discover now that forgiving/ progressive rods are best to keep the fish pinned? OMG OMG OMG! What a breaking new. I'm wondering how much you get paid for saying such craps? Cause I can do it too, as anybody else.
Wow. Great example of what’s wrong with the world.
