MDbassin Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Which rod would make a better jig and Texas rig rod? Jig weights are 3/8,1/2 and Texas rig weights as low as 1/4 Quote
NYBasser Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I'd go with a 4 power Dobyns. A 3 power is definitely too light for 1/2 oz. Quote
dnj21 Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I have a 733 & 734, comfortable with the former at 3/8oz but probably not a half oz. Mainly throwing swim jigs but a few T rigs also. I have found the 733 to be pretty versatile with some other techniques. Just purchased a St Croix Premier 7' MH, going to be interesting to see what I like better for half oz. jigs, the 734 or this one. Should be fun to compare side by side. Let us know what you pick and how you like it...... Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted February 25, 2017 Super User Posted February 25, 2017 Dobyns new Champion 744c jig special and don't look back. This a great rod. It's got it's on signature feel, loads great and the balance is spot on. It's always on the deck. 1 Quote
Super User Angry John Posted February 25, 2017 Super User Posted February 25, 2017 I have the dx 743 and for jigs its way to light. It makes a great weightless worm rod but for heavy hook operations the 4 power is a way better idea. 1 Quote
