The guides are Fuji alconites which are some of the best guides out there. Use magic eraser on the cork. You could seal it after you clean it with u40 cork sealer. I would like also add that Dobyns is one of the best balanced rods made.

I throw 1/10 oz. On a Dobyns Sierra 734 with a Lews custom Lite no backlash. 30 lb vicious no fade braid.

I'm like Bill Dance. I don't like glass. I much prefer the feel of graphite with braid for cranks. Just don't horse the fish and use your drag.

Thumb !!!!!

Lews custom Lite . Small strong drag casts well and 4.9 oz.

and if you get vicious no fade braid it doesnt loose color

lews magnesium spinning reel

If your spool isn't braid ready crazy glue works awesome. Roll on a few turns of line over some liquid brush on glue and it will never slip. When changing line just leave a long section to splice to.

Then it's fine

Lews custom light. 4.9oz.

It can be. You've never seen underwater shots of them taking them and spitting them out ? Also you feel the bottom and structure. Both big parts of crankbait fishing.

Personally I don't get glass cranking rods. I use graphite and don't loose fish.i think I catch more be ause I feel more. I've learned not to horse them in and don't let them jump.

yeah i should have said that..i use a wood dowel

By the time you pull flourocarbon hard enough to break it the 20 feet has been stretched past the point of structural integrity. Just cut it.

Yeah I agree it's all wrist and practice.guys who bomb cast with their arms are just asking for backlash and fatigue. When I learned to use my wrist and not force a cast I gained a ton of distance and accuracy.

St. Croix having big issues lately.

Shimano dc reels are different. Lews custom Lite is different weight wise. Diawas t wing is different. Eventually if different is good it becomes common and isn't different anymore. I would say looking for features that definitely changed how reels were made.

i argue that most lews diawa and shimano reels above $100 and up with proper maintenance will last just as long as any other reel and perform better doing it. its like people who say cars arent built well anymore. is that why they easily last over 200000 miles but old cars rarely did and if they did its because the owner really took care of it.

If you think you will catch more fish with flouro than flouro coated hybrid you are kidding yourself.

DOBYNS FOR ME !!!!

Dobyns Sierra series

this is simple DONT LET THEM JUMP!!! RELAX YOUR DRAG !!!dont horse them up. kepp the rod tip in the water and pull them down. you will land many more this way.

if we are talking normal weights and line then lews bb1.

wrong. centrifugal works at front of the cast.tension is during entire cast as is regular magnets.
