I don't throw Flukes but I do throw Fluke type baits and use a Kaden 714C rod.

X's 2 on the Kaden 714. A Fury 734 works pretty dang good also if you want to save a few bucks but still have a very good rod. JMO (I have both)

Weightless I prefer a Dobyns 3 power, model depending on your budget... Heck even the 2 power would work. A 4 power will work, and be more of a swiss knife type rod, but imo the 3 power will handle weightless soft plastics better overall.

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

I have a 733 I use for some lighter applications. I need a 703, but a 735 is next on my hit list

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.

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.

Keep an eye out on American Legacy Fishing and LandBigFish. LBF just had 30% off all Dobyns rods with no tax and free shipping. 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

Lol actually the only 3 power I have is an Xtasy... it's my "finesse" pitching setup such as it is, for Florida, anyway. 5/6 powers get more use around here wink.
