No doubt the Expride
Re: Dobyns vs Megabass vs Shimano
Ended up with the 72MH Expride, paired with a Chronarch MGL. Awesome rod for 1/4 texas rigged craws, slack line sensitivity is in a different class then the other rods I have used before.
Also have the 72MH glass, paired with a Curado DC, which is a nice chatterbait/buzzbait rod.

I also have a champion 734, although I was not impressed at all by the stick. Very heavy, balance is overrated, and sensitivity is horrible for that price point IMO. Kistler Helium 3 73LMH is nice as well, much lighter then the other 2, although it is tip heavy.
Re: Dobyns vs Megabass vs Shimano
I have the Gen 1 XX Tour Versatile and have a 7' M Expride and while they are different actions I feel the Megabass is more sensitive. I mainly use the Tour Versatile for Frogs/Flippin but it does work great as a jig stick and was designed for swimjigs so I dont see an issue throwing swimbaits with it.
