Poolshark Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I've never owned a dobyns rod before and wanted some advice before making a purchase. The techniques I use most are t rigged 7-10 inch worms, 5" senkos, fat Ikas, spinnerbaits, 3/8 to 1/2 Carolina rigs and horny toads in and around grass and Lilly pads. I'll probably throw an occasional 1/2 ounce rattle trap as well. The specific rod I am looking at is the Sierra series 734 7'3 Mhf. To you dobyns users out there, is the 734 the right choice? Or should I go for the 733. How is the Sierra line vs the others? Quote
JustinJ Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 both the 733 and 734 would work but you can do a lot more with the 734. i have a bunch of dobyns furys which cant be beat for the $100 range, 1 Quote
Super User David P Posted December 14, 2016 Super User Posted December 14, 2016 Definitely would suggest the 734! I have not fished the Sierra rods yet as I prefer full grip handles, but have heard they're really solid, nice rods given their price point! 1 Quote
Robert Riley Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Sounds like you need an all-purpose fast action rod. The 734 is Dobyn's general all-purpose rod, it'll be perfect for you! 1 Quote
Poolshark Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 Thank you all for the info. I'm going to be ordering this online as I have no retailers who sell them near me. Is the Sierra series any good? Or should I consider a different series? Quote
Super User fishnkamp Posted December 14, 2016 Super User Posted December 14, 2016 The Sierras are really nice. Did you get the message I sent you? Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted December 15, 2016 Super User Posted December 15, 2016 I bought a 734 Sierra for my son-in-law's birthday. I almost kept it....almost. I have a two 734 Champions. It's a nice upgrade to the Savvy for sure. Quote
