Re: Best crankbait rod
My experience has been that Dobyns makes the best crankbait rod in their price range. I thought Powell made a pretty good rod with the 706CB, but haven't tried the others. Was never impressed with any of the Shimanos (Clarus, Crucial, Cumara). Didn't like the Phoenix; thought it was too soft and the...

Re: Why not kistler?
Kistler was one of those builders that was slowly gaining a large cult following. They had issues with their rods breaking, poor customer service, and a terrible attitude by the owner. Recently, since they began using NFC blanks the company has been able to slowly turn things around in their favor.....

Re: What size braid for spinning reel?
I like 15# or 20# braid...doesn't really matter. Whatever I have on hand is what I spool up with.

Re: For people who find Dobyns Rods Mediocre
To each their own. I have 20 Dobyns Rods at home; a mixture of Saavy, Champion, and Extremes. I've switched rod brands a handful of times, and I've just found that Dobyns offers the warranty, ergonomics, versatility, and performance that's in my comfort zone. Sure, I think there are more sensitive r...

Thoughts: Travel Rods at ICAST???

Anyone thi...

Re: dobyns rods' really more versatile?
Dude...don't even pay attention to what's written on the side of the rod. It's just a list of techniques that you could use the rod for, but there are many other techniques that you could use it for too. Everyone has their own preference as to what they feel like is the perfect rod for a given techn...

Re: dobyns 705cb glass disappointment
Did you buy the 705CBMF in the Dobyns? Or did you buy the 705CB Fast? Those are 2 completely different sticks and may be the reason why??? The 705CB Glass Fast action is the rod that everyone raves about because it's a super versatile crankbait rod that can handle A LOT. The 705CB Glass Mod Fast is ...
