Robert Riley Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Looking for a light jig/plastics rod to compliment my DX745C, recommendations on either the DX702C or the DX743C? Quote

I am personally a big fan of the 7'4 rods. I do not own a 743 in the casting model, but I've spent some time over the years with a buddy's in that model. It would compliment the dx745 well. The dx702 is a great model as well I'm sure, I just prefer the 7'4 rods myself. What type of baits are you looking to use it for? Let me know if I can answer any more specific questions please. Quote
Silas Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 The 702C is one of my favs for small or medium cranks. Shallow water here in bayous so fish from 2-5 feet Is plenty. A Curado 50E is a perfect compliment to the Rod. Also a Steez 103. A sheer joy to cast!! Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted December 22, 2015 Super User Posted December 22, 2015 Or you can compromise and get the champion 733 and I'll even sell it to you for a real good price ? 1 Quote
olegs Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 DX743C is my favorite rod for weightless Fat Ika and Senko, 3/16-1/4 oz. T-rigged plastics 1 Quote
venom Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Haven't used the 702 so I can't comment on that one, but I use my 743 for senkos, weightless plastics, lighter t rigs and light jigs. It excels for those options. Quote
Robert Riley Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 I plan on using the rod for light texas rigs, senkos and finesse jigs. Mostly the latter. So it sounds like the 743 is rod of choice. PM sent Rippin-Lips Lol Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted December 23, 2015 Super User Posted December 23, 2015 How light? I find my 683c and 703c as great rods for weightless trickworms, 5" Senkos and Super Flukes, as well as 3/16 oz Texas rigs Quote
Craiger12 Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Another vote for the 743C. That's pretty much exactly what I use mine for. Quote
