Re: New Dobyn's Series

First fish on the 755, a decent 3-12...on a 5XD. I know, it’s a jig rod but we weren’t jig fishing today and I wanted to get some time with it. I also really needed the extra length to get some casts way out there. The crank rod I brought was only 7’. It performed very well on a technique is wasn’t ...

Re: New Dobyn's Series

Ok so my 755 came this morning and of course I ended up late for work. Good thing the only one to yell at me is myself. So initial impressions are exceptionally light in hand for a 7-5 mag-hvy. I told my buddy it really feels like a 843/4 GLX/NRX while holding it without a reel (that came in the aft...

Re: New Dobyn's Series

“because I feel like I’m fishing with two arm casts on” it’s clumsy, heavy and casts inaccurately. I'm sorry, but a rod simply does not cast inaccurately. It may be harder for you to cast versus other rods... but a rod does not cast inaccurately. That's entirely false. Unless it somehow loads diffe...

Re: Megabass Valkyrie Rods

Hello, has anyone spent some time on the water with any of the Valkyries? Was interested in the 7-2 Hvy. Thanks I got the 71H last week and have taken it out for a bit almost every day since. Have not hooked into anything big enough to really test it yet and my experience with it is limited. On one...

Re: Megabass Valkyrie Rods

I got the 7’2” heavy yesterday and had a chance to fish it today. It’s a beast I have it paired up with a ryoga 1016 and threw a 1/2 oz chatter with a 5” paddle tail with it first and it is great for it,later fishing a 3/4 oz chatter with same paddle tail in 20+ ft of water I was really impressed w...

Re: Which is your favorite rod company?

Here was a discussion on another board I contribute on. Basically the question was "Do you feel it's better to fish with rods of the same company? or is it better to fish reels all by the same company" it was a one way or another question. You couldn't have all rods by one company AND all reels. The...

Re: New Dobyn's Series

Ordered a 755 Sunday night and if I receive it by Thursday, I’ll be able to fish it Friday...though I’m having a hard time figuring out what I’ll need it for fishing Lake Michigan for smallies (excuse to buy some 3/4oz & 1oz Dark Sleepers? Maybe so) Don’t think I’ve ever taken a casting rod over a ...
