basser27 Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 How is this rod for Texas rigged weightless 5” senkos? Does it load up well enough or should i go down to the 3 power Quote
PBBrandon Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 704c should be just fine for weightless senkos. Senkos got some heft to them compared to other stick baits thanks to the salt 2 Quote
T2DM Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Dobyn's 704C are typically a MH IMO so maybe a tad too heavy for weightless Senko? Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted June 22, 2023 Super User Posted June 22, 2023 Believe it (or not), but I have used my 705CB for weightless TR’s with “heavier” baits like 5” Senkos, Neko Machos and Fat IKA’s and it’s actually done a pretty good job. I tried it on a whim and it surprised me. I get decent hooksets and it will cast those baits quite a ways. Quote
Super User WRB Posted June 22, 2023 Super User Posted June 22, 2023 3 power will be a lot easier to cast and more then enough strength for hook sets. Spinning would be a better choice then casting 5” Senko's because of more slack line to let the Senko free fall. Casting you need to strip off a yard of loose line. Tom 3 Quote

dj1975232 Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 I use my 703 for weightless Senko's. Just about perfect. Quote
Super User T-Billy Posted June 22, 2023 Super User Posted June 22, 2023 I'd be looking elsewhere. You can get a lighter, more sensitive blank, with quality hardware in that price range without looking too hard. Fury's are moving bait rods IMO. 3 Quote

Super User Columbia Craw Posted June 23, 2023 Super User Posted June 23, 2023 The Kaden 743C is a very effective Senko rod. It checked all the boxes. Quote
