Don't have either but they can be had at a great price on BTD right now. I have a few Dobyns including a 705cb glass which I love.

Couple months fellas and we can wet a line. First weekend in May is FIB fest 2015. Wahoo!

you have every right to fish. They have no right to do that. That deserves some jail time to teach them a lesson. I would kindly relocate if they just spoke out as would many.

The fact that they haven't improved their ecommerce platform boggles my mind. I just dont understand it especially for a highly demanded swimbait.

Site crash.....ive been lucky enough to get a few past releases. Not this time.

you want to go to your DSG for me?

No one said to pay retail.

I guess in the recent weeks this bait has already sold out. Did anyone nab one?

I have the 705cb glass. What I noticed is more fish landed in the boat. The glass keeps thos fish buttoned up really nice and still has enough backbone when you need to horse something out of moderate cover. Its an amazing rod. One of my favorites that I own.

My Ci4 was caked from the factory. I cleaned mine myself because it's way too much for my liking. You should send it to DVT next time or someone else different from who you used. I'd never accept that back.

Not sure if I'll make the Schaumburg show this year, if my schedule permits I'll swing out. I'd like to see Swindle on Friday but doubtful to make that happen. No to Rosemont basically from what Scott described. That place used to be great and had a ton of deals. I haven't been to that one in over 5 years.

What pound test and what size is the reel?

Braid is coated so takes an outing or two for it to loosen up nicely. It also sounds like you may have over filled the spool.

this I know

Get a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Dip in water, scrub and be amazed. Then look into some U40 cork sealant to protect in the future. One bottle will last you a very long time.

This will be my next reel purchase. Been eyeing one for a long time now except I have evaded the bait monkey...

Have you handled and fished with one in person?

San Diego Jam. All I use with fluoro

As suggested a proper cleaning and adjustments to your settings after will most likely achieve better distance. A 7'+ rod is going to make a difference as well. Also what line type and size are you using?

I have two Rage rods for a few seasons which have been great. Nothing like you describe ao I suspect you got some duds. I'd return it just to be safe.

You can save 20% on all Dobyns in stock at BTD today only. Thats $72 savings on the Dx795. I have the 766c and a Dx745. The champ is my punching rod and works great in really nasty slop. All other flip/pitch and jig work is done on on the DX. I will own more when I can afford too. They are awesome rods and a pleasure to fish with.

Yes you want to be in the 6 ratio.

What line and rod?

Listening and speaking with KVD in person, his own words were that he uses baits outside of SK. You'd be a fool to think any pros are using just a single brand of anything. Rods and reels perhaps but not lures.
