David Austin Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Anyone have experience with the Dobyns Kaden rods?? I am looking at the 7'4" medium heavy fast kaden series rod for football jigs (3/8-1/2oz) and maybe light carolina rigs (1/2oz). I may do a little pitching with the rod with football jigs also. I'll be pairing the rod with a Daiwa Tatula Elite reel in 8.1:1 gear ratio. Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted April 15, 2021 Super User Posted April 15, 2021 It's a new model this year, so while some here may have some experience, it's not going to be widespread. I'm still trailing the pack with Furys myself... Quote

I'm still trailing the pack with Furys myself... yeah, I am wanting at least a 7'3" rod since I'll be making fairly long casts. The longest they have in the fury is 7'. The Sierra series has a 7'3" rod in what I'm looking for, but the Kaden series is the same price and it's available in 7'4". I know an inch won't make much difference though. The Kaden just has a few extra upgrades and curious if there's really much difference between the two rods. Quote
kayaking_kev Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 You would probably be better off with the Kaden 744c for 1/2 oz. I had the 744c back in February of 2020 and it would do good with those weights. The 743c would handle 3/8 oz. fine, but if you're wanting to throw a lot of 1/2 oz. go with the 744c. The Sierra has a softer tip than the Kaden, better for moving baits. Quote
