Hey guys, received my new 682SF spinning rod and now have had a few days fishing with it.

WOW! what a spectacular rod. I have the 702SF and have said I believe that is the finest DropShot rod, well this rod is too. Both have their uses. (Keep in mind both rods have same specs, besides length) I like the 702 when fishing a DropShot in deep water. The the 682 allows me to make very accurate casts to docks, under overhangs, and isolated cover.

682 is the lightest rod I own, it really feels like a feather. And the action is perfect, once again like the 702, a soft tip that has a surprising amount of backbone. On the DropShot, I didn't even have to set the hook, just lift the rod up and hook sets it's self.

If your looking for a spectacular rod, try out the Dobyns Champion Series 682SF. I ordered mine from Ron at Valley Sports, I have yet to find this model in stores or online, Ron ordered it through Dobyns Themselves. Now that's customer service!!

That was my first dobyns rod I ever bought, nice one too.

I own the 683SF and love it.

Waiting for that person who's gonna come in here and say the champion blanks are dead compared to the DX. That's a rod for moving baits dont ya know.
