First Dobyns rod. Would like some feedback.

Featured Replies

I've never owned a dobyns rod before and wanted some advice before making a purchase. 

The techniques I use most are t rigged 7-10 inch worms, 5" senkos, fat Ikas, spinnerbaits, 3/8 to 1/2 Carolina rigs and horny toads in and around grass and Lilly pads. I'll probably throw an occasional 1/2 ounce rattle trap as well. The specific rod I am looking at is the Sierra series 734 7'3 Mhf.  

To you dobyns users out there, is the 734 the right choice? Or should I go for the 733. 

How is the Sierra line vs the others? 

 

both the 733 and 734 would work but you can do a lot more with the 734. i have a bunch of dobyns furys which cant be beat for the $100 range,

Definitely would suggest the 734! 

  I have not fished the Sierra rods yet as I prefer full grip handles, but have heard they're really solid, nice rods given their price point!

734

Sounds like you need an all-purpose fast action rod. The 734 is Dobyn's general all-purpose rod, it'll be perfect for you!

Thank you all for the info. I'm going to be ordering this online as I have no retailers who sell them near me. 

Is the Sierra series any good? Or should I consider a different series?

The Sierras are really nice. Did you get the message I sent you?

I bought a 734 Sierra for my son-in-law's birthday.  I almost kept it....almost.  I have a two 734 Champions. It's a nice upgrade to the Savvy for sure.
