Dobyns - Upgrade or Stay with Champion 734C
Just broke my Gen 2 Champion 734C yesterday on a foul hook set . That rod was my spinnerbait rod. Going to call up dobyns to inquire about how to do a replacement with $90 fee ($70 fee + $20 ship). While I am looking online - Should upgrade to DX744 for extra $90 or stay with the champion 734C ?

Bottom Contact Rod Suggestion ?
Have a NRX 803C JWR for texas rig 3/4 inch craws I am looking to beef it up. Need a rod to handle the bigger texas rigs (5inch) or 3/8 to 1/2oz Jigs Need to be Full Cork and pair up with Shimano Core 50 MG7 with Shimano 7.7 Brenious gear. Gloomis NRX 854C Gloomis GLX 854C St. Croix Legend Elite (EC71MHXF) Dobyns DX745 HP ( is it sensitive as NRX ) Another must have is warranty, I am cool with G.Loomis, St. Croix and Dobyns. Its due to being covered as second owner. The warranty will cover it according what others has said if it breaks. If you have some suggestion that i should look at, fire away...

How much do you trust ordering from eBay?
That is not true - Paypal and Ebay didnt help me with the Chargeback scam with the purchase of the Curado 70 on ebay. I purchase from the seller last year and got a package from Cabelas. One month later, I got a chargeback letter from cabelas wanted me to pay them. It appears that he used a stolen credit card to order/shipped to me. EBAY/Paypal were no help for four months as I called them to fight it. I finally got a hold of Cabelas and they were able to figure out based the tracking number that the seller gave me on ebay. Will still use ebay - but I will use only those who have 99.9% ratings along with over 1k selling ratings. Just dont put your trust on ebay/paypal as they like to play games.

Rod Shipping - HOLY COW ! UPS wanted 119 bucks
Dont blame ya for getting it replaced .. but why does it goes from $50 bucks to $32 bucks. That's my beef. I told myself that I would never ship a rod again unless it's warranty replacement from Gloomis/Dobyns

Epoxy or Super Glue for hooks to sealant it
Am looking for a epoxy to put on the hooks that I made with the Mono line. It looks like I need to add but I want a small or reuse epoxy. Dont want to get something then it becomes a one time thing, I meant, I only have ten hooks to do. However, if there is an alternative way of doing this which I could use the gorilla super glue. It's kinda of "waterproof for 500 hours. Feel free to let me know if there is one THanks

DIY: Weedguard - What size thread I should get?
Just went out and got two strings rolls (black) Did some work on it. I know its not perfect but it will do for now. Last part is the epoxy. I have one here but it looks like it was so old that it doesn't come out. Looks like I gotta go to Walmart and find a very small one. Or I can put gorilla superglue and forget it

Jigs: Conquest 904C vs Legend X 7'6" Med Hvy vs Steez SVF AGS 7'6" vs NRX 894C JWR
Know this is a old thread but NICE SCORE ! I'm in the same boat right now as I am looking for a Jig Rod. I have a NRX 803C JWR for Texas Rig that I love to death. Im looking between the Gloomis NRX 854C and St. Croix Legend X Series Casting Rod 7'1" Med Hvy). I would be happy with the score under $300 shipped. But your score on Kislter Z-Bone model LEXF-5H-73 Heavy X-Fast just added that to the three on my list.

The latest sale thread
I have been doing that for the last month to go and check out two Walmart. They don't have anything at the clearance section "yet" . Last year was the Yo-Zuri Hybrid Fishing Line that I grabbed for like $2.50 bucks. I knew I should have stock more up as I am halfway out. All I need is fishing lines.
