Super User FishTank Posted March 27, 2020 Super User Posted March 27, 2020 Monkey got me for one.  I picked this up new on eBay.  I thought I was getting the 19 shown in the listing's cover pic but I received the 12.  I thought I would return it but considering the deal I got and after fishing it for a few hours this evening, its a keeper.  Simply an amazing reel.   11 Quote
RichF Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 First purchase from Cabelas in a long time...more junk I don't need (except for the sonar cable I got for Dad). The line was just too cheap to pass up. Don't even know why I got the cranks. I have a ton of the originals that I've never even used, haha. Oh well, more stuff to throw in bins and stare at later. 4 Quote

I like them, but they aren't as nice as my more expensive reels. Ended up selling one to make the other one free. I currently have it on a light jig/spinnerbait rod, but will be moving it to my swim jig rod for a while until fall when it will meet its final resting place on a cheap 6'6" M jerkabit rod that scorpion looks so nice Quote

Super User PhishLI Posted March 30, 2020 Super User Posted March 30, 2020 Project Z Weedless. I've always been hesitant to throw my Jackhammers close to pad fields at 16 bux a pop. The pads are just breaking the surface and haven't yet filled in, so it's primetime.  I'll be braver with these. Got em Buy 3 get 1 free from DSG.    11 Quote

Throwing a 3/8 jig. Coming from the SLX rod, the sensitivity is insane. Didn’t catch anything,  it it was pretty amazing to feel it bump off something and know exactly what I was hitting.  edit* mobile really made a mess of that.

kayaking_kev Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 5 new Dobyns showed up today, I think the bait monkey knows my debit card # by heart now. Â 14 Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted March 31, 2020 Super User Posted March 31, 2020 Poor, poor Gary. First he had to offer a "limited" edition series of rods for his loyal customers to give their feedback on so he could determine if he could actually put them in to production. Now that the Covid has hit he is having to give such a discount to his loyal facebook super duper members only secret page. I sure hope he is able to make it through since no one will buy rods from him. 1 Quote

Maybe just a couple eventually. 702sf is replacing a Lew's TP-1 ML, so I got a spinning reel for it. The 734c has a SLX DC on it already, and the 736 has Revo X 5.4.1 from the rod it replaced. I don't have one yet for the 735c or 663c yet, but I do have a Abu Pro Max and Black Max on some backup rods if I need them. I just sold My Fuego CT a couple of weeks ago and now regret it, I could of used it for the 735. I'm in no hurry to get any reels right now, because I won't ever take 13 Dobyns rods with me at once, so I can double up for now. Quote
