I have several Doby s rods, but never fished with the Ducketts. I DO LOVE the Dobyns and when I buy more, it will be Dobyns. Lightweight and very sensitive and with a lot of backbone for what you are buying. Love them. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

I would buy a G.Loomis IMX over the Dobyns DX. I have several Dobyns Extreme rods my favorite being the DX784ML. But for most applications I prefer the Loomis IMX as they are less money and better made than the Dobyns. The exception would be the cranking rods, as I prefer the Dobyns over the G.Loomis.

Ya, kind of like asking "Mercedes or Kia"? That being said the Kia isn't bad especially if it's in your budget. If price is not a problem: Dobyns!

That's not a choice! But since you wanted to put your worthless 2 cents in. I fished dobyns for years and got all my buddies loyal to them. Kistler is the rod I would choose hands down. More sensitive and the guides don't cut out. I do however love the 805cbrm. If it comes to feel its kistler.

Kistler LTA's and the Dobyns Extremes are my favorite rods. Both are very sensitive. Next would be my Powell Max and Endurance rods. Very good rods for the price.
My Duckett rods are their crank bait rods (7-6 and the 7-11) so I can't say just how the sensitivity compares to the others. The Dobyns 805 cranking rod is way better than the Duckett 7-11 for throwing deep diving crank baits.

What is your budget?
Since you said that GLoomis is our of your price range, I am assuming that means that Dobyns Savvy, Champion and Champion Extreme, as well as the Duckett White Ice and Micro Magic are also out since those models are priced near or higher than a GLoomis E6X
So essentially you are shopping between a Dobyns Fury and Duckett Ghost?
