The Sierra 703 is probably my most versatile rod. Love it for flukes, senko, wacky…great chatterbait rod as well.

683 is perfect for weightless fluke. Over 7 is too long for jerkmand twitch. I use the 610 slx medium from shimano. Awesome fluke rod. Don't think dobyns has anything like it

People are still buying Dobyns? I'm looking at buying another Dobyn's, in fact would love to have another Kaden 714C rod. I was a little worried about some of the stuff I was hearing about issue's but had a broke Champion rod, took it to a dealer when I was at Fork. Walked in and handed them my broke rod, walked over and found the new one I wanted on their rack, walked to the counter and paid the Replacement fee and was out of there with no problem within 5 minutes. I have been a Falcon rod man forever and still have mostly Falcon rods even after some ot their issues over the years but this was my fourth Dobyn's rod and like I said I really like the feel of the Kaden 714C which I actually won in the raffle at the Fish for a Cure tournament and want to get another one.

Speaking of buying rods, I don't have 30 or more rod and reel setups like back when I was fishing every weekend. I now have 12 to 14 rigs and for the last 6 to 8 years every rod I have purchased, Falcon Lowriders, Falcon Expert Series, Dobyns Fury and Dobyns Champion XP series rods have all been purchased from the TFF and all bought for half the price of a new one. It sometimes takes a while for one to show up like right now I am keeping my eye open for a Falcon Lowrider Lizard Dragger and the Kaden 714C. And just for old times sake I just purchased an old All Star rod recently from TFF.

Champion 734 is my “do everything” rod. It is good w/weightless plastics too. If you are using a smaller weightless fluke a lot the 733 would be great.

I think I have an extra I’m going to sell soon.

Over on the Dobyns Facebook group they’re always saying a 3 power is idea for weightless. My next rod will likely be a DX743 for that purpose if I catch them on a good sale.

A DX was like $245. I would have gotten one but I have other financial responsibilities at the moment. Dobyns rods are on sale quite a bit if you just keep a lookout for them
