Zeta Rod?!!

[wiscmike]

'slayer, we've never had any issues. I don't always agree with your opinions but to each their own.

For new guys on the forum, it ain't no secret, I'm a Dobyns fan.

Regarding the NRX, I actually haven't posted a review. I thought I'd continue my streak of staying positive in my posts. Honestly, it was light & sensitive. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I was looking for. I don't think it was the rods fault. Just wasn't my thing.

For the record, I'm not a GLoomis hater either. Its just that I prefer my Dobyns.

Honestly though, I love my NRX 8wt & 9wt fly rods. Don't tell the other Dobynites but I keep thinking about buying a 893....

Did you mean Dx893 ?

The 893 is an awesome rod. Nothing wrong with owning rods other than Dobyns.

Will definitively have to check out these Zeta rods when they come out.

An old adage comes to mind - I guess we agree to disagree.

I guess that's why we all think differently and some are leaders while the masses just follow like sheeps to the slaughter house.

e.g. look @ the review by patrick especially the picture of the reel seat the compressed cork is slightly off. personally that would bother me and rub everytime I used the rod. Also noted in the review of one of the Loomis rods I think it was a bronzeback or shakey head rod by TT either Cal or Z.

I guess no rod Mfg is perfect, eh!

I'm always looking @ new tackle and what is being innovated and its NO secret I love Loomis rods but the monkey always has room for more, that's the beauty of the sport.

I like Dobyns rods and most of my tackle store brought rods are Dobyns DX's.

But at $500'ish for these Dobyns Zayta's, although very good looking and probably a well made rod, is my own personal limit on how much I am willing to pay for a non-custom made rod.

If Dobyns offers a trade in program where we can trade in say my DX's and the trade in credit to be applied towards a new Zayta rod, then I would consider getting one and possibly upgrading my DX's to Zaytas.

I agree for $500'ish it's getting to my limit, so I guess I better start saving now haha

There is always the black friday sale, 400 for one of these rods wouldn't be a bad price.

ariel,

you just can't stop can you.

[Fat-G]

Oh no.... I can't afford one...but need one oh so badly.

Hope they have a trade in thing, and I'm praying to GOD they make a DX745 version that's 4-6" longer.

Like a DX795?

[godshippy]

If they had a DX795 that wasn't a flippin' rod...I would be all over it. I have a DX795 and DX745, but the 795 is just too much stick. I want something lighter with a faster tip for jigs, and the 745 is great, but man...just a few more inches would make it SO much better.

Spot on / x100 / +100 YESSIR! Maybe even like a DX785ML? No, I think I want even longer, like maybe 7'10.

All I know is that the 745 is bar none THE jig rod for 1/2 oz flipping jigs in heavy wood with braid. And need I say it again? THE rod! I just wish it were 5-6" longer!

[godshippy]

So any ideas on rod specs??? Lengths? Actions? Come on now!!!
