Buckjunkie Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Looking to get a Dobyns 734 to use for spinnerbaits and skinney dippers. Is the champion series worth the extra money? Also I'm looking for a good deal. Thanks Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 For moving baits, the Savvy would do just fine. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted May 10, 2015 Super User Posted May 10, 2015 The Savvy will serve you just fine for those applications. Save the extra $$. I have the 734 Champion, this rod serves me better for jigging applications. Quote
SenkoGuru Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Like the others have said, the Savvy will do well for moving baits. If you are going to only fishing moving baits go Savvy but if you're going to fish plastics or jigs then you will need to get the champion series. 1 Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted May 10, 2015 Super User Posted May 10, 2015 If you even have a thought that the rod could see use with jigs or plastics, then go for the Champion Quote
Jon G Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Savy will work fine for those applications. I got into Dobyns rods around a year and a half or so ago after seeing a lot of people using them on this site. I used a 734 savy for chatterbaits and it was a nice rod but the sensitivity was not there for me for bottom contact. I then bought a 734 Champion and never looked back to the Savy. The only Dobyns rods I use now are the Champions and Champion Extremes. Quote
Buckjunkie Posted May 10, 2015 Author Posted May 10, 2015 Well I just got offered a good deal on a Champion 734 to good to pass up. Champion it is. Thanks Quote
SenkoGuru Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Well I just got offered a good deal on a Champion 734 to good to pass up. Champion it is. Thanks I think you made the right choice, The Savvy isn't a good choice for plastics and jigs, it is such a dead feeling rod but the champion will be fine for all baits that you would like to fish with it, including plastics and jigs. Let us know what you think about it after you have fished it for a while. Quote
Buckjunkie Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 I sure will. Can't wait to try it out! Quote
Bigchunk Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 You will like it i just got my first champ a few weeks ago, sweet rod Quote
Buckjunkie Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 Got my new Dobyns Champion 734c in today. Got a good deal $195, thanks to someone on here. Tied on a spinnerbait and played around in the yard. Man I like this rod. Glad I went with the Champ. Thanks for the advice. Quote
Arv Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Nice. The Champion line is a nice series, especially under $200 Quote
*Hank Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Nice. The Champion line is a nice series, especially under $200 I`ll be getting a champion soon but i`ll have to pay full price. Quote
Cgrinder Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I`ll be getting a champion soon but i`ll have to pay full price. But why? Quote
*Hank Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 But why? Because I can't find any good deals on a 684cb. Quote
Arv Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Because I can't find any good deals on a 684cb. Memorial Day sales should happen pretty soon. Most places should have sales of 10% or more. Quote
*Hank Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Memorial Day sales should happen pretty soon. Most places should have sales of 10% or more. I forgot about that, I'll probably get one at TW. Quote

I am late to the party, but the champ 734 is a great spinnerbait/swimjig rod. I loved throwing SBs with it, I love throwing texas rigs even more though and sold it. You will enjoy that rod for the purpose you bought it for. Quote
Buckjunkie Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 Never thought I would pay that much for a rod, but as good as everyone speaks of them, I had to try one. Quote

Robert Riley Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Champion is miles ahead of the Savvy. Especially if you can get a deal on it! Quote
*Hank Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Just wait a couple days and the Memorial Day sales will begin. I'll probaly get one of bass tackle depot with the. 25% discount. Quote
Cgrinder Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 BTD seems to be only 20% on Dobyns unless I'm missing something. I had a long stare-down with a 744 FH yesterday. Quote
