Hey guys, I did some searching around and still have a few questions for ya'll. I'm in the market for a rod for punching and heavier pitching and flipping. The two rods i've narrowed it down to is the dobyns 805 champion and 795 champion extreme. Is the extreme worth the extra money for this application? my financial situation is not the greatest so any money saved is good, but if the extreme makes a huge difference I could probably get it. I'm planning on matching it up with a ardent f700. For anyone that has the 805, how does it balance? is it tip heavy at all? if anyone has any input i'd appreciate it. thanks

Hey guys, this is my first post here. I'm from West Tennessee. more specifically Dyersburg if anyone is familiar with that. I've fished all my life, but recently have decided to take bass fishing to another level so i'm in the process of getting a new boat and building up my tackle. The main lakes i'll be fishing are Reelfoot, Gibson County Lake, Beech lake, Graham Lake, and will try to make it to Kentucky Lake a couple times a month. I know kentucky lake is a awesome bass lake, but i'm not sure about the other lakes so if anyone fishes these lakes, How is the bass fishing? I look forward to meeting people and learning as much as I can on here.
