So I’m looking to cash in on a Dobyns sale going on right now and am interested in the flippin rods. Specifically the Kaden 765 and the Sierra 766 flip models. I currently have a 7’3” heavy Daiwa Rebellion that handles pretty much all of my heavy applications except for frogging. I’m looking for something That can compliment that rod and take over flipping into heavy cover. I live in north Texas and a lot of the ponds around here have thick hydrilla mats that bass nest in. Would I need to step up to the 6 power or would the 5 power work just fine? Thank you

I'd go 6 based on hydrilla.  Gary Dobyns uses 6 power for flipping and punching.

766

I use A Dobyns Champion XP DC 736C FH for Frogs & Flipping in heavy cover & the Champion XP DC735C FH for toads. I know you ask about a longer rod But these 2 get the job done

766. I have a 766 Sierra and a 765 Kaden. The 5 power ain't enough for heavy cover IMO. The 766 is the better choice.

Thanks y’all, sounds like I’ll be getting the 766 then ?
