Hey TT, I'm looking to upgrade my current treble hook rod (Fury 705cb) and I'm split between the MB Orochi XX Flatside Special or the Dobyns Champ 705CB. This rod is going to be mainly used for rip baits, specifically 110 sized baits and 1.5 squarebills, with medium running cranks being thrown once ...

Thanks for the help! Those 1 powers seem interesting.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a recommendation for a light action spinning rod from the dobyns lineup. I currently have a 742sf, but I'm looking for something with a lighter power. Also I'm looking to keep this combo spooled with 4-6lb line. Thanks for the help!

Tightened down the nut pretty hard this time and it seemed to fix the issue. Haven't had the chance to fish with it yet though. Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I am having issues with the rotor nut in my stradic becoming loose when in use. This leads to the rotor and handle becoming loose after a little bit of fishing. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of picking up the Fury 765flip and was wondering if any of you had any experience with this rod. I'm on a budget right now, so I can't step up to a champ or savvy. Would this rod serve the purpose of flipping and punching up to 1 ounce? Possibly 1 1/2 ounce in a pinch? Thanks.

Thanks civicrr, I appreciate all the help. Looks like I'm gonna go with the 705cb.

Mainly vision 110's. Biggest ripbait would be a magnum 110 and smallest would be a pointer 78. More often than not, I will be throwing the 110 sized baits though.

Thanks for the answers. I think I'm leaning towards the 705cb with the mono, since I prefer the feel of graphite. Also, any thoughts on a rod strictly for ripbaits? Should I stick with a 705 or go the 704 route?

Hey guys, I'm looking to get an all-around crank/ripbait rod that will work well with braid. I initially leaned toward the 705cb because I like the sensitivity of graphite, but I wasn't sure how braid would affect the hook/land ratio. The primary baits that will be thrown on it will be vision 110's,...

Awesome! Thank you for the information. I'll definitely be on here awhile.

I recently acquired a Curado 200dpv that was missing a few major parts. The worm gear and pawl, along with the AR bearing sleeve (roller clutch inner tube?) are missing from the reel and I was wondering these parts could be replaced using other reels in the D series. I was able to source a worm gear...
