Thanks to all who posted on my previous post with questions concerning the Dobyns DX 704.

 

I ordered one the other day for 20% off from TW on the early "Black Friday" sale and it has arrived.

 

I just hope it fishes as well as it looks.

What are you going to use it for? The DX is a sweet little hunny!

Congrats. Please let me know how you like and such. It's on my immediate wish list. I've read a lot of great stuff about the 744 but that extra length poses some issues for me so I've got to go with the 7' length.

Will be using it mainly for T-Rigs with 9-10 inch worms, creature baits, and jigs with tralers. All up to around 1/2 oz. maybe to 5/8 oz on rare occasions.

Exactly the kinds of uses I'm looking at it for.

Also went with the DX 704 rather than the DX 744 because of rod length. The DX 744 would create storage problems for me. Will let you know how rod performs

It should be able to handle all of that very well. I'd love to go shorter around 7' but they don't make them with a full grip.

I would have rather had a full cork grip as well.

Mike with DVT can add a full for 50 dollars or so, but I don't know what it would do to the warranty. Either way you've got a really good stick!

you will love the rod..

Ive had one for a few years and it is a great T-rig, Jig, and heavier shakey head rod..

Enjoy the new stick!

Congrats....they are addicting so watch out

I ordered a DX744 and can't wait for it to get here Monday. The only thing that sucks it that I will have to wait until spring to try it out. I still have not even seen one in person lol.

Snow on the ground here in Iowa with temps in the teens and no warm-up in sight. May have to wait till the spring to use it as well. Fished last week, but our days are numbered. Good luck with your DX744.
