I see where you're coming from. I have a Cumara CUC-72MH and a 735 Champion. The Cumara is a finesse rod, the Dobyns a flipping stick. The Champion is a lot more sensitive, which is weird, considering it's a flipping stick. I think the Cumara should be the more sensitive rod, but it's not. At least to me.
Between the Cumara and Dobyns, it comes down to personal preference.
