Been thinking alot lately of getting a new swim jig rod. I have a few already in mind, just having a hard time deciding. I'm looking at the Dobyns Fury fr734c, Duckett Ghost 7'3" in either Heavy or Medium Heavy, and the Lews American Hero 7' MH. Mainly gonna be throwing 3/8 swim jigs and occasionally worms. 

I don have either, but given the weight you will be throwing, I would not go Heavy.....Heck, a Med could work

I have a Dobyns Savvy 734 that I throw 3/8 to 1/2 oz jigs on. Works great. I think a Fury 734 would do the trick for you.

 

In fact it is my all round rod. I throw everything from T-Rigs, to Jigs, to Frogs(light cover) on it.

That 734 will cover almost anything in bass fishing. I highly recommend that rod. 

The Dobyns Fury 734 is a great rod for that purpose.

I have one 7 foot rod I could throw jigs on but, prefer to use it more for texas rigged stuff.

My primary rod for throwing jigs and especially swim jigs is a Powell Max 683CEF.

That rod is a bit shorter, which makes it great around docks, laydowns and other structure.  It is now available in a Powell Max3D and inferno series.

I agree with the others stay in the MH fast category except for a Dobyns, they fish a half step lighter than advertised, go more by their lure rating. 

What trailer?  a 4.8 Keitech is .4oz.  That 3/8oz jig and a trailer quickly gets close to 3/4-1 oz.  I had a 734 Champion and it was too light for me to throw a swimjig of that size.  My 735 Fury works, I am in love with the 7'2" Daiwa Tatula MHR for that sort of bait.

99% of the time I'm throwing a Strike King Menace grub on the back. Other then that it would be a Zoom Z-Craw Jr. or a Paca Chunk. I don't think I've ever used a paddle tail as a trailer yet....lol. I already have a FR735C which is my frog rod. Maybe add another....lol.

Give it a shot first, but yeah it's a good rod for that stuff.

I've thrown them on it before and have done alright. Just felt like a little overkill to me. I'll have try it again and see.

I get that.  I wish there was a 734.5 model
