Best Dx For 3/4 Ounce Footballs?

Featured Replies

I personally use a 744dx.  745dx seems to be the more popular choice.  I just finished a 2 day tournament catching 25-30 fish a day on a 3/4 oz jig on the 744dx, my favorite rod to have a football jig on.  I mainly throw 3/8 and 3/4, they both go on that rod.  Let me know if you have concerns.

I was thinking the 745 or 795, but if the 744 works for you, I'll check it out. Thanks!

I am on the side of the 745, love mine paired with a Chronarch 200E7.

In my opinion the 795dx would overpower things pretty badly.  If you wanted something longer with more power the 765dx would be a little better but in my opinion still a bit too much power.  The 745dx is probably the most popular for this size football jig.  784dx is also a wildly popular rod for the football jigs but just isn't my personal favorite for the jig.  Actually the 744dx was the first Dobyns I ever purchased and completely hooked me on them.

Happy to discuss anymore concerns you may have!

great thanks! I'm leaning towards the 745, although I'd probably like just a little more length for deep water fishing. That's why I suggested the 795, but it doesn't sound ideal. I think a 785ml would be perfect!;) Wish dobyns would make one.

Also wish they would come out with that zayta!!! Heard there would be a 755, might be what I'm looking for. I've been hearing about them for a couple years now. But that's for another thread.;)

might as well add the DX 765 Flip into the mix

The 765dx MAY possibly work really...  I would think it may be just a bit too stiff unless you mainly throw the jig in 30+ feet of water.

Yep, don't think that's what I want. I'm pretty sure on the 745. I've heard so much great stuff about it. Btw I'll be fishing in 20-40 fow.
