NavyVet Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 I'm looking for a spinning rod around 7ft.in length to use for shaky heads, senkos, smaller plastics, and once in a while to throw lighter crankbaits to a max. of 1/2 oz. but usually 3/8 oz. In addition, I'd like to use this same rod in the late fall and winter to walleye jig in open water. Again, with 3/8 to a max. of 1/2 oz. jigs with grub trailers. About $350 is my top range price wise. I am looking at the Dobyns DX703. Does anyone fish this rod and if so, what is your impression? Other suggestions? Quote
Arv Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 The initial applications you listed would be fine. I use my 703 for those minus the cranks, but I imagine I could handle them in a pinch. 1/2 oz jigs with a grub though might be a bit much, but I haven't tried them. Overall, I really like the rod. I use it a lot skipping senkos in my kayak. Quote
warpath58 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Check out the Duckett micro magic DFMM70M-S-B $169 this one has the full length cork grip they also offer it with a split grip I have several of the Micro Magic rods and absolutely love them. Quote
