I'm trying to decide on witch dobyns cranking rod to buy so i was just curious what you guys would recommend. I want a rod that will throw small deep divers like the bandit 300 series. i am considering either a 705cb witch is a graphite rod, or a 705cbmf witch is a moderate fast action glass rod please let me know if you have any suggestions.

For the type of baits you have mentioned I would go with the 705CB Glass and not the MF unless you want the softer parabolic action that extends much further into the base of the blank. The two models you mention are really opposites of each other. The 705CB Glass is more in the middle of spectrum. It has a nice reactive tip and super power in the lower portion of the blank which I like. It's a very versatile rod and my preference for cranking mid depths and deeper. Hope this helps.

Edit, The 705CBMF is consistent with the Lamiglas Excel 705G if you have ever fished that rod.

Thanks for the suggestion, is the 705cb glass rod sensitive enough to feel the bait hitting the bottom? (that is the reason that i have never owned a glass rod before)

Yes. This model is graphite base and glass tip. Not only will you feel botom contact, you will feel bait vibration very well. I fished Lamiglas SR705R's for several years. I fished the Champion 705 and never looked back.
