My question is this: for that 4-6oz bait range what action do you want in the rod? Fast, Moderate, Mod/Fast?

    I would think it would depend on the hooks on the bait. 

    I would agree. On my treble hook baits I have a more moderate action. On jig hook baits I use a H Fast.

    A Dobyns 795 is a MH/Fast action with its main purpose for glides, a-rigs and such which means the rod will probably load up deeper into the blank to help keeping the fish pinned. 

     

    The 806 from Dobyns, is gonna have a bit more power than 795 because it’s a Heavy and when you stick those fish, you’re grinding them to the boat. Jig hook style baits and weedless style baits work well when paired with this rod.
