ATA Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Dobyns Champion XP 7'3" Heavy X-Fast Casting Rod Length: 7'3" | Line: 15lb - 30lb | Lure: 3/8oz. - 2oz. | Power: Heavy | Action: Extra Fast | Handle: Split Cork | MPN: DC 736C SH I want to know if this rod is true 2oz rod, Because I have dobyns rod for example for 1oz and it is pushing it and really it is 3/4oz. So I want to know if it will be the same on this rod, In that case ill go with 766 but I rather go shorter 7'3" than 7'6". I narrow it down to this two rods already.

Cbump Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I have the DX 746 and I would say 1.5-1.75 oz Honestly. I traded my 745 for the 746 because I felt like they are a little overrated. mileage may vary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Columbia Craw Posted May 5 Super User Share Posted May 5 The XP 736 has a more active tip than the XP 766. All Dobyns models provide a weigh range and the sweet spot is the middle of that range. If you plan on pitching-punching, the 766 will be better suited to 2 ounces. If you plan to cast a swimbait rod would be more desirable. The 766 is also available in the Sierra line. Btw, Gary Dobyns flips/punches with an XP766 Flip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
