All my other rods are Caras but they don't have a rod I like for topwater. Which of the above would you pick for spooks, sammys, gunfish, dog-x, and other like baits?

"Walk the dog" spook type baits? 704 or 734 for me. Lighter topwaters like Yellow Magic's...? 703 or 733.

I have each of those but if I were to choose one it would be the DC 763C. I love that rod for throwing whopper ploppers, buzz baits and horny toads. I don't throw walking baits on it really but for prop/paddle baits it's my personal go to rod.

I use 705cb

The 704 was too much of a wet noodle for me.
