I'm about to upgrade all my rods to the Champion Series but there are so many different options just in that series. Which rod of the Champion Series do you use for the following applications:

Trig
Sq Bill
Deep Crank
Arig/Swimbait
Jig/Flippin/Pitching
Spinnerbait
Topwater/Frog
C Rig
Are there any more that could be doubled other than Arig/Swimbait?

Thanks for the information. Gonna be a big investment for me.

You will get a lot of answers on each, I would call Dobyns for a consultation, they will stay on the phone with you as long as you like, and are extremely helpful. We would also need for each rod how much weight will be thrown, and that will help narrow it down. I would look at a 734,705cb,805cbrm,764cbrm lots of rods that can be used for what you're looking for.

A 733 will take care of square bills, spinnerbaits, topwater, senkos, lighter trigs.

I will definitely give them a call. I usually stay around the 3/8 - 1/2 oz range except on the deep crank, swimbait, and Arig of course.

Yep, I've got a 703 that I use for all that stuff. 733 should be about the same (just 3" longer).

For light jigs and heavy t-rigs, either a 734 or 735 would work.

For a swimbait or A-rig, I think you're looking at a 736/795/796/806/807 depending on what size swimbait you're talking about and how long of a rod you want.

You can cover everything but the swimbaits and A-rigs with a 733/734/735 for sure. And the 735 could even handle light swimbaits.

I agree if your on budget those 3 will carry a lot of the load if you just get them.

For your square bills throw a 705CBMF GLASS. Great rod. Agree with the 765 Flip. For C-Rigs I like the 764
