Which rod would be best for Chatterbaits? Champion XP DC 735CB Glass or DC 736CB Glass. I Fish 3/8oz Chatterbaits 99 Percent of the time with monofilament, no braid. light to moderate vegetation.

Lighter cover the 735 would work great.

 

personally my favorite chatterbait rod is the DC734c. I like a faster rod for chatterbaits. It’s a jig hook so I need a beefy hookset. But a lot of people like both the 735cb and 736cb glass for chatterbaits.

Either would work fine for chatterbaits. I've got both models and there isn't a lot of difference between them. I have two of the 736cb glass and one of the 735cb glass. I have a Jackhammer and a Sieberts Fogy on the 736's, and a 5XD crankbait on the 735 currently.

 

I read on another forum thread where Gary Dobyns was saying they were developing the rod and they tried a couple different things and came out with slight differences between the two. Apparently Gary liked the slightly heavier one and his son liked the slightly lighter one, so they kept them both and named them the 735cb glass and 736cb glass. I could try to find that thread and share here, but don't know if that is allowed.

Good to know, thank you.
