TheMaverick Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 I just love my Dobyns, anybody else uses Dobyns rods? What model and why?
TheMaverick Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Posted April 29, 2013 I'll start, 745 DX, I'll be using it for pitching, heard and read nothing but good things on this rod for heavier plastics. 743 DX, Good all around rod for weightless plastics, senkos, horny toads.
Chance Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 Hey Maverick,Ranger boat and now Dobyns rods,ya followin me LOL?? I only use Dobyns rods now.I have a few dozen and they are awesome.Much better feel than anything else I have used. Throw a Lews reel on there and you wont believe the balance and how light they are !
StarTzar Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 I use them because I like them. DX743C - DX745C - 734C - 735C 684CB - 704CB - 764CB RM - 805CB RM

musky_hunter Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 i have 3 and really like their rods, the crankbait rods are stellar!
TheMaverick Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Posted April 29, 2013 i have 3 and really like their rods, the crankbait rods are stellar! Couldn't agree more...proud owner of a 705cb, 764cb Rm and the 805cb Rm. Rod loads up like a charm!
smitty55 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Looks like a team effort here hehe. Great run with de ponch BA. That was a blast. Cheers
Ainsley Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 I started getting into dobyns rods last season. Started with a DX744 mostly for spinnerbaits. Then came a dx743 for senkos. Both are amazing rods. Since then I've picked up a champion 702c and 765c which I have yet to fish. Up next is a 704cb for jerkbaits and topwaters and a 765cb glass for deep cranks. Still trying to figure out my reel pairings for all these rods
Old Ironmaker Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Maverick and Star Tzar, exactly what are you 2 selling? With all that gear as Sheriff Brady said "We're gonna need a bigger boat."
TheMaverick Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 Maverick and Star Tzar, exactly what are you 2 selling? With all that gear as Sheriff Brady said "We're gonna need a bigger boat." and that's exactly what we did
StarTzar Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Maverick and Star Tzar, exactly what are you 2 selling? With all that gear as Sheriff Brady said "We're gonna need a bigger boat." That's why we purchased the Ranger. The rod lockers are much larger than that of the Stratos.

Chance Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Now you are following me Chance....brother from another mother? You could be right ! Just got my latest order from Lews yesterday. I love the new BB1 for cranking,a really nice feel to it and you can really feel the bait working. Other than that I throw mostly tourney pros.It is amazing how many people are making the switch over to Lews.
lew Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Just got my latest order from Lews yesterday. jeeez, I don't even remember sending it
Chance Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 jeeez, I don't even remember sending it Thats okay Lew I have days like that too

Other than that I throw mostly tourney pros.It is amazing how many people are making the switch over to Lews. I own 5 lew's, 2 of which are 5.4:1 TP cranking reels. I'd like to get another cranking reel but can't decide between the BB1 and another Tournament Pro. I'm not sure how well the BB1 will cast lighter crankbaits.
Lunker777 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Is online the only place to buy these rods ?? Im located in Chatham, but frequent the GTA . Any brick and mortor shops selling these ?
