FishinBuck07 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Well I just bit that bullet and ordered three of these rods!! Can't believe I did it but too late now. lol Excited none the less to see them and see what they are like. 1 Quote
bwjay Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I decided to bite as well, ordered a 700SF for crappie and perch fishing as soon as the lakes are open here sometime in April. I still want a shorter UL/L rod but I figured I'd give this new line a shot. It'll be my first Dobyns rod. 1 Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted January 30, 2020 Super User Posted January 30, 2020 Update as of this morning: The 735CB was sold out quick. The other models are still in stock but the 744 and 745 are getting very low. About 300 to 400 were shipped out yesterday. BTW, if you buy multiples the shipping is a flat twenty dollars regardless if you purchase one or seven. They have big tubes I guess. 1 Quote

A 745C, 714C, and a 713SF are on their way to my doorstep and yes it was $20 to ship all three! Excited, but then I have to wait on this stupid weather anyways!! 1 Quote

kayaking_kev Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Gary Dobyns on the Kaden Series, posted last night. "Explaining the Kaden Series. Guys, I have issues. When a new material comes out, I must play with it. Can't help myself. Along with this, my factory owner had a new design he wanted to play with. So we started messing around. When I think something is better, the fisherman in me has to have it. Probably sounds corny but it's true. I get myself in a bind at times and the Kaden Series is prime example. Where this rod will fall into the line up, is still unknown. If it's as good as I think it is, I'll fit it in somewhere. This rod may change too, it depends on the feed back. Maybe it'll need full handles, maybe different guides or reelseats, maybe it needs to be pink I've never built a series and asked for feedback from our customers. I'm anxious to see how it works. Please send comments and ideas to reviews@dobynsrods.com This address will be active in a few days. I'll make a post when it's active. Thanks in advance for the info and help. I'll really be looking at it hard. THX!!!" 1 1 Quote
RichF Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 With a name like Kayden, it probably should be pink haha. Quote

Super User fishwizzard Posted February 3, 2020 Super User Posted February 3, 2020 Have any pictures of the spinning rods surfaced yet? I’m very curious about the real seat/grip situation. i could use a L/UL spinning reel but I am picky about the seat. Quote
kayaking_kev Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 The red is fine with me, but I wouldn't mind some kind of blackout color sometime soon. Quote

There’s dozens of pictures all over the community group on Facebook of the rod. 1 Quote

kayaking_kev Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Got my 744c today. Overall it's a nice rod, but I do have some small complaints. I wish there was some detail on the blank between the split grip like on the other series, it's kinda of plain. I wish the red trim on the guide wrapping went on every guide, not just the first one. I had some epoxy filled in on one of the bottom of my guides, which bothered me the most, but shouldn't affect anything and can probably easily be removed with a little heat. I like the feel, the red color, the split grips, the reel seat, the balance, the tip, and we will see how the guides hold up, don't know much about them. Quote
