I was looking at possibly the Dobyns 734C, but open to suggestions. Thanks!

The 734C is about as versatile as a rod can be. Great rod.

That being said, the link that RW posted is a pretty good deal. I'd expect to see that sold pretty quickly.

I have one and love it, Looks like that one was spotted already. I will say I think an even better rod for what your looking for is an Avid by St. Croix for $180.00 the AVS68MXF. Just near not the price the the 7' MF that RW recomended, but if your gonna pay full retail, for a rod for tubes grubs and jigs, this is a great rod, might need a trailer for spinerbaits, but tops for everything else you mentiomned. If you can add another 80 or 90 bucks to that, I think the very best available is the 6'8 MXF Legend Elite!! I bought a Legend Tournament form a guy who broke the tip of of a LTB68MXF and fixed it a good rod at 6'5" MXF but I think I'm going to up it to the Legend Elite, just my opinion, but I think they are the best rods on the planet, and the Avids are as good as anything else. Just my opinion owning both and trying others!

The 734 is very versatile, but tubes might be pushing it depending on weight and rigging. I usually use my 734 for 1/4oz+. Anything lighter goes on my 733.
