flywall99 Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 I want to upgrade my rods and reels in a few months since I just landed a new job and will be making more coin. When TW had their christmas sale I picked up a dobyns sierra 704c and love it but I hate having to cut and re-tie so often since its the only rod I want to use now lol. I want to get one more 704c to use with paddle tail swim baits and use my current one for t-rigs. I also like to throw finesse swim jigs (1/4oz and 3/8oz) and smaller spinner baits (3/16oz), would a 703c or 733c throw those lighter baits better than the 704c? Ideally I would like to have 1 rod for each technique that I use most often. Quote
LionHeart Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 When I saw the title I planned to recommend the 704. Dude, just get another. It is a super versatile rod. The 3 power would also be a solid choice for those lighter baits you mentioned. When I hear 3 power Dobyns I think finese gear 1 Quote

I don’t like throwing anything but chatterbaits and lipless on it really. The 4 I can throw anything basically with confidence. I throw only reaction baits on that rod, it is nice and wouldn’t trade it but get a 4 @flywall99 Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted April 6, 2019 Super User Posted April 6, 2019 Dobyns is pretty good about showing the suggested applications for each rod . I have the following Sierra's (but want more) : 704c : Football Jigs , T - Rigs , Spinner Baits , Chatter Baits , Swim Jigs 705c : Frogs , Flipping , Pitching 703sf : Shakey Head , Senko Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted April 6, 2019 Super User Posted April 6, 2019 threw 1/4oz swim jigs and 3/8 and 1/2 spinnerbaits on a 733 for 5+ years. Quote
flywall99 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Posted April 9, 2019 Thanks for the replies! Yeah im gonna pick up 1 more 704 and a 703 for some lighter baits. Quote
