Dobyns Kaden 744c
You are on the right track. The Champion 744C is extra fast and there is no 4 power that replicates it’s action. It’s like a custom action for Jigs. It locks up pretty quick. I have fished wobble heads with it and it’s a good action for that application. The Kaden 744C is a fast action but more consistent with a Champion 734C. The action flex transitions deeper into the blank but when it locks up the power shines. Mine is dedicated to swim jigs. I could or would fish every bait you listed with confidence. I ordered a Kaden 745C this week and that rod should be good.

Critique my setups and recommend my next rod
Nice broad selection to cover numerous techniques. I would suggest the Dobyns Kaden 735 CB over the Fury. It has the ability to fish a 1.5 SB, Lipless, and up to a 5XD size bait. As a side note, it makes a very good chatter bait rod as well.

Zoom Bait Update : Here's The Truthful Status
Zoom is one of the iconic names in bass fishing and I really hope they rebound soon.

To the best of your memory, what was the lure you caught your first bass on?
That’s me but 57 years ago at the Maxwell borrow pit.

Yes

Best multi purpose Dobyns spinning rods?
Champion: 703SF or 733SF if you like the full rear grip. Extremes are 703 or 743SF but good luck finding stock. Also, the Champion 733SF is made with the previous generation Xtreme blank. There you go.

Berkley Flat Worm, My Newest "Magic Bait"
My local shop had a 20 percent off all warm water lures and guess what was all by itself on the bottom corner? Six pack of green pumpkin Max Scent flat worms. Evidence demands a verdict.

What discontinued baits do you refuse to put away...
All sizes of Hot Lips. I bought a bunch last year and have enough to easily last the rest of my life .

Favorite Ice cream thread!
Handles home made ice cream in Medina Ohio has the best ice cream but it’s 2600 miles from me. I had jalapeño mango sorbet there a couple years ago. Not for everyone.

X-Zone Lures
It’s a good thing I stocked up on Finesse Slammers last year because I’m not ordering anything more this year. Oops, the UPS driver is at the door.

Daiwa Zillion SV TW (older model)
I have two. I found one for 212.00 new and the second for 219.00 that was a display model. At those prices they were no brainers. Those and my Tatula Elites see the most use.

Does the time of day matter for a whopper plopper?
Normally after my morning coffee.

Zoom, done?
The only way they can take my Brush Hogs is to pry them from my cold dead hands.

How does the Dobyns Sierras action compare to the Fury?
The Fury is a faster action but the difference is negligible.
