peteryang Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 as the title suggests, i was thinking about getting one of the three. i will be throwing mainly spinners and chatters and some topwater. maybe even some jigs or t-rigs here and there, but i'll mainly be using it for the spinners. Quote
sofarfrome Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 FWIW...I have been using a 735C MH XF FH for everything this year (T-rigs, cranks, topwater, spinner baits, jigs) and love it. But of the three you list I would have to go 733 MH. Quote
dam0007 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I bought the 703C for that exact application. However I didn't realize it was split grip. I like it a lot and think it handles spinner buzz and chatter baits well. However because the split grip I'm prob getting rid of it. I have it up in flea market for trade but you could PM me if anything if you're interested. Quote
dam0007 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 734 will be prefect! Really? A Heavy? That's a lot of rod if you throw a 1/4oz spinner Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted June 10, 2015 Super User Posted June 10, 2015 Since your throwing in the jig into the mix I would have to say 734. Quote
peteryang Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 Well I guess my inferno 7'3 can handle the jigs, but it just feels as if the tip is a tad too stuff. Unless they're supposed to be stiff like that. Quote
Jon G Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 734 is the best option. Dobyns over rates their rods, a 4 power is a medium heavy instead of a heavy and a 3 power is a medium instead of a medium heavy. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted June 10, 2015 Super User Posted June 10, 2015 734 is the best option. Dobyns over rates their rods, a 4 power is a medium heavy instead of a heavy and a 3 power is a medium instead of a medium heavy. I prefer a MH for all-around use. Don't own any Dobyns, but based on this statement, I also would go with the 734. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted June 10, 2015 Super User Posted June 10, 2015 I own 703 733 704 The 704 is my do everything rod. If I'm just going out for a little bit to hit the banks. That's the rod I grab. It's labeled as a heavy, but with the soft tip it doesn't act like a heavy. It gets my vote. Quote
Super User webertime Posted June 11, 2015 Super User Posted June 11, 2015 For a point of reference the 734 Dobyns feels less powerful than a MH St. Croix... Very close though. Quote
speed craw Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I have all three rods , for whats its worth I would say the 703 for smaller Texas rigs , lighter spinners , lighter spinner baits and is best option for top water especially for more precise spots . The 733 is probably the best over all rod for all applications if you simply wanted one multi purpose rod. IT could be used for lighter & heavier Texas rigs and lighter & heavier chatter baits , spinner baits and larger top water baits . The 734 will work but to me feels a little cumbersome for top water , but as far as heavier jigs , spinner baits , Texas rigs this is the rod you need to consider , if you need some backbone to winch out or pull out of cover there is no better option .

DTack Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 734. I'm not concerned about casting compared to hooking and landing a fish. Just my way of doing things. Of those mentioned, I would go with a 734 no question. I am also a big fan of the 7'3 rods. Quote
OroBass Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 some time I wonder how many guys on here have opinions regarding rods they have never fished. Quote
Super User David P Posted June 11, 2015 Super User Posted June 11, 2015 734 hands down. Chatterbaits in general have a pretty stout hook, little extra power to get a good hook in em. Plus you mentioned jigs, definitely 4 power for jigs. Quote
