Probably 12 Ducketts so I don't have to retire so much during tournaments, but then again I would rather fish a champion over a duckett.

Neither, Zebco 33. Just joking, I love lews but I think for the extra 70$ bucks I would try the Ci4+. (I've never handled the Ci4+ though)

Really haha, never tried using a beer can but seems like a fun thing to try out haha.

Im just going use my 734 and 733 i could just retie

How does the savvy compare to the ***? I really wished i liked the handle/Reel Seat of the *** because there great rods but i just love dobyns a little bit more, i need to win the lottery! LOL.

what are rods? i use a beer can and line...

the only thing is if the chatterbait or sj bite is off and i need to throw a T-Rig or something and i dont have the rod i need. i want it to do that also and i heard that the savvys arent sensitive at all.

Ok, So i like Dobyns Champions for my bottom contact rods, but o can not drop that much $$$ on a moving baits rod rod maybe when i get a full time job but not right now. Used for Spinnerbaits, chatterbait and SwimJigs. there are my choices, - Pinnacle Perfecta 7'MH - Duckett Micro Magic 7' MH or H - Powell Inferno 7' MH - St. Croix Permier 7' M going to get a Savvy or just use my Champion that i use for t rigs I do like the ECS Real seat vs the ACS real seat but both will do fine. Im leaning towards the duckett but not sure...

Carbonlite pro qualifer combo $150

Nice review, I felt the rod in store and it felt awesome but wasn't sold on the actions and powers the had, really inconsistent.

So in front of the real seat screw about 3/4 of an inch?

Awesome! How do they balance?

How is the rod? If i need a rod and dont have money for another dobyns i would like to have a 2 base rod companys and a lot of people like pinnacle. What are some downsides of the rods? Is the reel seat like an *** (which i dont like) or is it more comfortable to grip? ive read all they things that the mods post but what are your guys thoughts?

What would be a good 5 base rod arsenal.

not DSG they have tons of broken guides, tips, rods, reels etc i see them just man handling there rods and throwing them on the racks, i dont go to either, im lucky enough to go to Kevin Van Dams brother Randy Van Dams tackle shop in kalamazoo MI, this April, Mark Zona, KVD,JVD,Gerald Swindle, brandon palauniek and many more will be there cant wait!

Do you remember which rod was more stout

BB1

1) 7' - 7'3 med heavy w/ 12-15lb fluorocarbon 2) 7' - 7'6 heavy w/ 50lb braid or 17-20lb fluorocarbon 3) 7' medium or MH moderate action cranking rod, 12 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament

Yeah i dont really notice it either haha, i love my BB1 though, great real.

I Saw a video of someone talking about it being for feeling the crankbait..

Also, on the regular BB1 not sure about BB1 pro on the 5.5:1 it dosent have instant anti reverse so there is room to reel backwards? (not much) its kind of hard to desrcibe over text so just google it haha, they say it helps feel what your crankbaits are doing.

I have a bb1, and my cousin has a tourney pro. Tourney pro - better to palm, good for lighter baits. Bb1- good with Crank baits and mid weight lures 3/8 - 5/8 oz There different reels for different applications.

Sold all my rods, so I need to get me some more champions!

I loved the action of my *** *** 7'1 MH, i Just returned it because of the handle would the 704C Match that action pretty good to my ***?

Yeah, theres a lot of helpful guys on BR, i might sub out that 765cb for maybe a cheaper cranking rod, maybe a powell, duckett or st.croix around the 100 -150 dollar range.
