    Hey Erik, Happy New Year to you!!!!....Quick question here, I use Dobyns rods also and have pretty much every 7'0 to 7 foot 3 rod in their "Fury" series. I'm struggling a bit with rod choices in different cover situations since I'm newish to Florida and not used to the different cover types here.....I'm not sure if you're familiar with their "Fury" series, but if you are....which action/power would you fish treble hook baits like top waters and lipless baits on and which rod would you throw a chatter bait on? Also, would your recommendation change in heavy grass situations versus more open water? I fish out of a kayak, so that's important as well as it's pretty hard for me to throw anything over 7'3.Thanks a bunch!!!
