Please help me choose. 

I will be pitching and casting (including skipping) only 1/2oz jigs (with a tendency to use large trailers).  I have zero experience with Dobyns casting rods but I have two Dobyns spinning and I find them much lighter and much softer tips than my preferred rods.  The "fast" on the two Dobyns spinning are very moderate in comparison to my preferences.  Perhaps this doesn't translate to the casting rods but it has me considering the extra fast versions.  

Who has some opinions to share on any of these three rods?  Thanks in advance.

Well now, THAT is very interesting.  I didn't know it existed.  Right now all of the rods I skip with are 7'0 and 7'3.  I have to admit that it takes me a couple throws to adjust between those two lengths sometimes.  I'm wondering how my pea brain would struggle with a 6'10 in the mix.  

 

Edit:  I've found several reviews that lead me to believe that, while great for skipping, it is lacking some tip/backbone that I want (people love it for spinners though) and I need a heavier rod.  A good, sensitive pitching rod with a lot of tip is my priority.  If I buy one of them that I listed and it's not handy for skipping then I'll just have to buy a dedicated skipping rod, right?

If you want the extra fast action then jump to  the DC 744C

Can you explain how that is different than the DC 735SH?  It’s a m/h but has a larger weight range and xf tip. Different backbone?

It’s a unique model within the Dobyns line.  The tip locks up much quicker than a 735.  It’s a true extra fast and has more power than the other 4 powers.  I liken it to a 744.5 power.

That's good info.  I will call Dobyns and ask about it.  Thank you. 

Champ 735. Just trust me on that one. I’ve skipped with it, pitched 1/8 oz plastics, punched, frogged used it for buzzbait, Spinnerbait, bladed jig. The tip is insane on it and it does lock up pretty quick
