Want a new Dobyns Spinning rod. Which one?

[WRangler506]

The only Dobyns rod I have is the crankbait casting rod and I love it. Barely use it, but I love it. My next favorites are 2 of my StC Legends 7ft MLF spinning and LTBass 610 MLXF for dropshots.

If I just want a new Dobyns rod to play with that most people really like, which one should it be? Not concerned if it overlaps with above rods, just want one of the best "spinning" rods they have to offer around 7ft if possible.

Assuming you like medium light Dobyns 702 Sierra and 732 Champion are legendary.   If budget allows I'd go 732 as it is the most different than what you already have and will "pin" stuck fish with the best of them.

 

Assuming medium add a 3 on the end of both of the rods I mentioned.

Also, don't know if allowed but ALF has a 40% back card on Dobyns right nowm

There’s some small print for that rebate.

Ya - the card is an ALF gift card that you can only use there...I did that last spring buying a couple Victory rods and ended up paying only $30 out of pocket for a Tatula 100.

If you think you might like a little faster action, the Kaden 712SF is really nice.  The Champion 732SF and 733SF are built on the first generation Extreme blanks and are a step above.

Not sure if this is true, but seems widely accepted that St Croix rods in general or at least the LTs are stiffer than other companies. Is that also true when compared to Dobyns? I dont love my St Croix mediums as I dont often throw baits that need it.

So I guess what Im asking is if a Dobyns Medium is lighter than a St Croix Medium?

Im almost positive Id like the 702 or 732, maybe the 733 is the one I need to try. My go to medium rod surprises some people but its a several years old Fenwick Elite Tech Bass 7'MF. Its just comfy and works. The ETB or ETW 69MLXF that everyone used to rave about just felt super whippy to me, although I never fished one so maybe not fair.

For me the 703 champion is my all-time favorite Dobyns rod...
