I'm considering adding a dedicated C-Rig rod to my Dobyns line up. Looking at the 764C. Any thoughts on this? Their website says it's a "heavy" action rod with a fast tip. I already have a 735C - would the 764C be stronger and possibly let me flip some grass too?

I have one.  This is going to be tough to answer for me so I'm going to do my best, I think it can also depend on what you're comfortable with in a rod.  This rod is probably the heaviest action rod I've used that is not a flipping stick or made for a frog.  I mainly use the rod for big buzzbaits now (double blade 1 ounce) that is my favorite thing to use it for.  I've used it for chatterbaits and it is a bit "stiff" for me.  It is entirely different from the 734 and has MUCH more power.  Personally, I find the 764 to be around the same strength of the 735... maybe a BIT stronger, but not by too much.   I've used it for bed fishing with braid as well and I actually loved it for that.  I'm trying to remember if I've ever done any pitching to cover with it or anything like that.  My initial thought is if I can land some of the fish in and around grass that I have on a buzzbait and even a frog in a pinch, you'd be ok to flip grasslines with it.  I'm sorry I can't give a super definitive answer but in simple words I think the rod would work for flipping 3/4 to 1 oz weights.  If you'd like another opinion you can always contact Dobyns rods direct.

Thanks... I did speak with Dobyns and they said the 735 would have more horsepower in the grass.....but you stated the 764 has MUCH more power than the 734 which makes me think it'll have more power than a 735 too.

Well see. I'm certainly gonna use it and flip mats on Gville. If it doesn't hold up to the task....then I'll buy a 736C.

Would a photo showing the flex of the 764c vs 734c vs 736c help at all?  I have the three at my house now, I could have a photo for ya in a few hours here if that would help you at all.  I don't have a 735 at home to compare it to, I'm sorry.  

Nah...no need. Thank u though...I've already ordered it and will test it next week. My main concern is that it's a good C rig rod..... If it'll also let me punch grass, fine, if not, a 736 will be ordered also. Thanks.

Anytime, hope you enjoy it.  I really love mine. 

I have both and use the 735 for what you are looking for.
