ColdSVT Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Should I get a 13envy or a dobyns champion for my new t rig rod? Reel choice is between a chronarch ci4+ and a team lews pro Quote
bmlum415 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Dobyns champion and a chronarch ci4 all the way!!! Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted October 1, 2013 Super User Posted October 1, 2013 Spend more on the rod than the reel 1 Quote
motodmast Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 are you looking at the champ or champ extreme? if your looking at the champ, i would suggest the 13 ***, i have all three, and the champ extreme & 13 *** feel VERY similar. the 7'3MH *** is VERY VERY similar to the dobyns champ extreme 744. i have a champ extreme DX745 with a lew TP and its light, but my 13 *** 7'3MH with a lews TP is even lighter. i really think you'll like the *** over the champion, but there both good rods, but i truly feel the 13 *** is better than the dobyns champion.

Super User David P Posted October 2, 2013 Super User Posted October 2, 2013 I love my Dobyns Rods so I'm slightly biased. I've heard good things about the *** rods themselves, but with newer rods and companies the longevity of the company, warranty, and customer service is always a concern. Just something to think about. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted October 2, 2013 Super User Posted October 2, 2013 All four. Solved. That's the best answer. Or, you could buy a whole bunch of those China made reels for $1.09 someone has been talking about. Hey!, and maybe they have some combos, for about $3.00. Nah... the only Combos you can get for $3.00 come in a bag, and are very tasty....lol. Hootie Quote
motodmast Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 also, after mentioning the ***, it does have recoil guides adn if you plan on using braid, its super annoying, a very loud sawing sound. the only downside to recoil guides Quote
ColdSVT Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 Still on the fence lol...got all winter to think about it Quote
down4ttown Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I have a DX with a Team Lew's Pro and it is by far my best set up. The reel will cast a mile and works outstanding. I would go with a Dobyn's over almost anything. If your kid steps on your Dobyns, send it back with $60 and a new one is on its way. Quote
Hogsticker Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 The rods are debatable, but as someone mentioned recoil guides are a love, hate thing. As for the reel, I'd pick the Chronarch all day long. Quote
