I had a Savvy arrive and the reel seat nut would only turn onto one thread.. I sent that one back.
After reconsidering the Dobyns, I decided to upgrade to the Champion. I use Lews reels, I don't know if the reels foot lengths are the same as the Daiwa and Shimano.
I like what I'm reading about the rods. Sounds like I'm going to step up to the 736 for Frogs and toads since I'll have the 734 for sparse cover. I'm sure both rods will do great with jigs on them. I also want a 683.
