Ok, so if you guys had to pick two rods out of the extreme line to fish with only two rods What two rods would you pick from the DX743,DX744, or DX745 ?

Depends on what exactly you want to do with them. If you were in TX where chances of catching big momma is higher, I would say 744 and 745 for sure. Thinking about it a little more, I would still say 744 and 745 even up there but I'm more of a heavy line heavy cover guy than some.
Have you checked out the 784 Mike Long Jig Rod? I think you should add that to your list of choices. It fishes amazing! You'd never know you were fishing a rod that long and there's no substitute for length for handling fish.

I have all three and I would pick the 744 and 745. I am more a power fisherman. I use 743 for light line stuff.

I have a DX743 and just got the DX745. SON! The DX745 is the way to go. Great rod, and extremely light for a big rod.
