I broke my fluke rod and its the one rod I never can seem to find the right one for fishing flukes. I am looking at the dobyns savvy 733 (I like a stiffer rod but lots of tip) and dont wanna dish out for the champion series since I have too many rods as it is any thoughts on this rod, or what rod do you guys like for flukes.

Power Tackle PG104

i would use a dobyns Savvy 703

The 733 will be perfect. The extra 3" of length really helps on hooksets especially if you are throwing a fluke in clear water and long casts are needed. plus it doubles as a great wacky worm rod, weightless stickbait and shakyhead/drop shot rod.

I have two savvy 733c and they are great for flukes or senkos.

Seems like 7.3ft is too long for me to work a fluke. Keep slapping the water. Something to think about.

I have not had that issue. Almost all my rods are 7'3 or longer.

Either 703 or 733 will work just fine. I'm with Mark in that I tend to use the longer rods these days. The extra casting distance and leverage fighting a fish is better.

With a fluke, its not hard to keep the longer rod to the side just a little bit, there's not much resistance and not usually twitching/jerking/pulling that hard to make the angle weird. With a hard jerkbait however, I like a shorter rod.

Vertically challenged are ya? I haven't had this problem either but I can see where its possible.

Dobyns Customer Service is great. They just took care of me recently, quickly. Will buy nothing else.

6ft or a little taller actually. Must have long arms! or the basscat sits lower to the water

Any thoughts on the savvy series rods. I am slowly replacing my kistlers since they seem to be popping left and right. Does the 733 have a soft tip but hefty backbone?

If you were closer I would let you borrow some..I picked up my first savvy series 8 or so months ago and have slowly been selling my other rods to change over to Dobyns exclusively.

I have Savvys as well as a Champion. Savvy is a great rod and will make a nice fluke rod for sure. Champion is better balanced but for fishing a fluke and rod pointed down more won't matter as much I wouldn't think.

They are both sensitive. More difference in balance than sensitivity in my opinion btwn Savvy and Champion.

Oh yea he doesn't want to shell out $320 for a Doybns Champion but why not $340 for a PG104 7'6"!
The Duckett 6'9" MH might be of interest.
