Looking for a light jig/plastics rod to compliment my DX745C, recommendations on either the DX702C or the DX743C?

I am personally a big fan of the 7'4 rods.  I do not own a 743 in the casting model, but I've spent some time over the years with a buddy's in that model.  It would compliment the dx745 well.  The dx702 is a great model as well I'm sure, I just prefer the 7'4 rods myself.  What type of baits are you looking to use it for?  Let me know if I can answer any more specific questions please. 

The 702C is one of my favs for small or medium cranks. Shallow water here in bayous so fish from 2-5 feet Is plenty. A Curado 50E is a perfect compliment to the Rod. Also a Steez 103. 

A sheer joy to cast!!

Or you can compromise and get the champion 733 and I'll even sell it to you for a real good price ?

DX743C is my favorite rod for weightless Fat Ika and Senko, 3/16-1/4 oz. T-rigged plastics

743 for sure 

Haven't used the 702 so I can't comment on that one, but I use my 743 for senkos, weightless plastics, lighter t rigs and light jigs. It excels for those options.

I plan on using the rod for light texas rigs, senkos and finesse jigs. Mostly the latter. So it sounds like the 743 is rod of choice.

How light?  I find my 683c and 703c as great rods for weightless trickworms, 5" Senkos and Super Flukes, as well as 3/16 oz Texas rigs

Another vote for the 743C. That's pretty much exactly what I use mine for.
