Lol… so I thought an Xp 744c was leaning on the tree … well it was a Dx744c ?. With that said was going to use the xp744 for my main 1/2oz Jig rod.. What would u all do here? Keep the Dx744c to toss Trigs and jigs up to 3/8 or Send back for a dx745 since it can a throw a tic more? And am about to order another rod .. was going to grab a xp765 or xp766….hmmm keep the Dx744 instead of sending back for dx745 and grab the xp765.. sounds like a plan. Such  tuff decisions …. Still can’t believe she stepped it up the Dx… she must have a big to do list up her sleeve she’s holding off on handing me?.. thanks hun!!

Or you've just been that good to her the past year.

I’ve had the dx744 and was not happy with it. I say up-gauge to a 745. Personally, anything 4 power from Dobyns are good moving bait rods. If you want solid frog/jig/Texas rigs for 1/2 oz….5 power is where you want to be. Very versatile power rod.

Thanks for your input.. it’s  why I mentioned going 3/8 with this if I keep.. just compared tips although  from the Dx744 to my xp734.. the Dx tips seems a lot faster than the champ ,not that it’s going to make a difference to use it as a 1/2 oz jig rod but a lighter bottom contact rod I can see it doing well .. 

line choice can affect that decision too. if your braid to leader the 4 power may be just fine. fluoro you may want to step up to the 5

Tough choice, but I would wager the DX744C would be pretty good T-Rig rod and for lighter and finesse jigs that could also handle moving baits pretty good.

 

I would be inclined to keep it and also add a DX745C myself. That would be a two rod pair that I would bring out with me a lot.
