*** Would my 734c be ok throwing spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, squarebills, and traps, I have a high speed reel on it. *** 

 

Let's see your arsenal, so i can compare and maybe change. 

 

What would you change about my set up? 

yeah I throw that stuff on my 734C all the time.  Was using it as my chatterbait rod till my buddy sold me his Cashion Elite chatterbait rod for a great price, the 734C will still be used for my swim jigs and spinnerbaits for sure.

I will be selling the 3 Dobyns that I have left, not because I don't like Dobyns Rods, but because I have recently built my own custom arsenal with X-ray and Phenix blanks with Torzite & SiC guides using carbon grips.

I'd be interested in your 704 Glass.

Just the other day you had all Shimano rods LOL

 

I knew you would bring that up.? I was in the process of converting all my rods to Shimano, I had an opportunity to cash in on a bunch of rods, but it fell through. I had sold a bunch of my older rods and discovered an app kind of like ebay bought a bunch of Dobyns rods! Very cool find. 

Def get yourself a DC 734 at some point it’s a great Swiss Army knife of sorts. Killer Chatterbait rod IMO. 
 

you have spooks listed for 735 I’d say throw those on the 734.

I use them for bass fishing.  I’ve fished Fury’s, Savvy’s and Sierras which have since been sold or gifted.  Thank goodness for overtime.

?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️ I have issues

DC 806 HSB - Tat 300L 

          - all swimbaits up to 5oz

FR 795 HSB  -  Curado K 301HG

          - glides, swimmers, and topwater up to 3.5oz, thinking of trying heavy A-rigs this yr.

DC 706 CB - Curado DC 151HG

          - cranks, topwater, S Waver 168, large jerkbaits and traps, open hook keitechs

FR 705 CB - Curado DC 151

          - traps, cranks, topwater, open hook keitechs

DC 735 C - Tat 200HSL

          - frogs, all 1/2-3/4oz jigs, mag shakey, heavy swing heads and t-rigs, light pitch

DC 734 C - Curado DC 151HG

          - topwater, chatterbaits, 5" soft swimbaits, swim jigs, traps

 

I got all my champions right before ice up, so I'm unable to say if all these "plans" are valid and am open to suggestions.

FR703C - Spinnerbaits

 

FR734C - Buzzbaits 

 

Both with 7.2:1 SLX XT

 

They both get used for multiple techniques, but those are where they shine for me. 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to a class act gentleman on here I have one Dobyns.  A 704CB Glass currently with a Gen 2 Premier.
