I can't figure out their rods.  which one of the rods in this series is the standout, moving baits rod?  square bills, chatter, lipless, etc.

 

thanks.

 

I have a spare Shimano 150MGL coming back from DVT that needs a home.  

The Champion XP 734C is their do it all standout rod 👍

I have 3 Champs, 734c, 735c, 706cb and one DRX 755.   I've always been interested in the 784 jig rod and the 795Flip in the hp lineup based on others' recs. If you're going strictly moving baits, with trebles, the 734 champ is as versatile as advertised but I would be leery paying hp prices for that action when the champion is right there for much less. 

 

Personally, I love the 5 power rods.  Dobyns "softer tip" action to powerful mid/butt is great for moving single hook and jig/worm fishing but can still keep fish pinned on treble hook baits.  I am less confident with the 4 power champion, but hear that the 784 hp is a bit of a unicorn in those regards.

For those baits save your money and get the regular Champion instead of the Extreme.

The 703 or 704 would be my choices for your baits mentioned. Go with the 3 if your baits are lighter, and the 4 power if you use heavier baits. If you like longer rods get the 733 or 734c.

I got a DX744 for jigs and didn't like it at all.  However, it is now my primary spinnerbait and buzzbait rod, and I highly recommend it for those.
