Jcj90 Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Any difference in the 7’3” medium Vs the 7’ medium except an extra 3”? Quote
ironbjorn Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 I don't have these rods, but being a Dobyns fanboy (although new purchases have been going the way of Shimano) I can tell you the only difference in 703/704 and 733/734 rods is very slight, mostly negligible, softer tips in the longer rods. You probably won't notice the difference in casting distance either. My opinion. Quote
MediumMouthBass Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 To me that makes a huge difference. I have mainly Aird X rods (lower end Daiwas) and i fish with the MH casting rods in 7' and 7'3". When i go fishing on the boat or the kayak, im always asking myself why did i even bring the 7'. The 7'3" can get an extreme amount of distance compared to the 7', whether the bait is lighter or heavier. Same results comparing a medium spinning rod thats 7' vs 7'2". Quote

thunderblack Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 Well look at that! I might need to pick one up then. They use to be XF I think. Appreciate it Quote
