Fat-G Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Ordered a Dobyns Champion 735c a little while ago. Should be here sometime this week. Can't wait! It'll be another pitchin' and flippin' combo, I'll also throw bigger jigs and plastics on it. Now...what reel should go on it? ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User 5bass Posted March 26, 2011 Super User Posted March 26, 2011 Revo Premier, of course. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted March 26, 2011 Super User Posted March 26, 2011 Daiwa Zillion 7.1:1, of course Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted March 26, 2011 Super User Posted March 26, 2011 A 2010 revo stx...has a dual brake setup. Great reel. Quote
Fat-G Posted March 26, 2011 Author Posted March 26, 2011 I really like the Zillion I fished a couple weeks ago, or another Curado. Heck, maybe a Premier. Quote
WanderLust Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 If you can find a Zillion or a 2010 Premeir at a reasonable price I would say sure. Otherwise another Curado is in order... There's NIB 2010 Lefty STX in the flea market for $145. I snagged one of them. Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Quantum Smoke. Daiwa Zillion, Revo Premier or Quantum Tour Edition are all good choices. Quote
MNGeorge Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I have a REVO STX HS on mine and love the combo. Quote
Fat-G Posted March 26, 2011 Author Posted March 26, 2011 Well it's either Daiwa, Shimano, or Abu. I'll never own a Quantum. Maybe I can find a Zill for ~$150 used. Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Well it's either Daiwa, Shimano, or Abu. I'll never own a Quantum. Maybe I can find a Zill for ~$150 used. Ok I would go with the Daiwa as my second choice as well. Quote
RussBert Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I have a TD-Z 103HL on my 735c. It's a pitching monster! OK, well, I haven't even fished it yet, but a boy can dream, right? Quote
JDF Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Hope you enjoy it man! I know how your feeling right now! I just ordered a 765c and should be here on monday and I cant wait to try it out. Cant go wrong with a curado Quote
stanfan Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 just got to start using my new 735c. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I paired it with a 200E7 and can't put it down when I'm on the water. Been flipping Zoom ultra vibe speed craws and have been whacking them. Dobyns rods are the best. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 27, 2011 Super User Posted March 27, 2011 Can you stretch another $25? I bought 2 reels from Viktor last year. Reels were used, but looked like new. He takes excellent care of his gear. I'd have already bought it myself, but I sent out funds for 2 reels last week before I saw his ad. Well...actually I probably wouldn't have bought it because I needed to buy a reel for the custom rod I had build as a Christmas gift for my daughter. (And she isn't getting a reel costing that much from me!) ;D If it weren't for that, I would have gotten this reel for myself instead of the one I did. I love the Zillion 50th Anniversary I bought from Viktor. The Alphas ito I bought from him has the best feeling retrieve I've ever felt on a reel. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1300841972 Quote
breezy Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Well it's either Daiwa, Shimano, or Abu. I'll never own a Quantum. Maybe I can find a Zill for ~$150 used. I bought one around that price very recently. It wasn't mint but not beat up either. Can't wait for it to show up monday As for the Dobyns, you'll love it. Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 27, 2011 Super User Posted March 27, 2011 Darn. I got all excited for you. It thought it was the Champion boat. Nice selection on your part if I may say so. Now rig it up and go catch something at the ponds!!!!! Quote

midnighthrasher Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Core 100 mgfv with the flipping switch. Best reel hands down for f&p. Quote
BassThumb Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Great choice on the rod. It's very versatile and is extremely well balanced for such a powerful rod. I use one with a Revo STX-HS for frogging and one with a lefty Curado 201E7 for pitching/heavy jig fishing. I'm right handed, but I like a lefty reel for bottom contact baits and pitching/flipping. That's what I would recommend, a $150 201E7 from eBay. If you realize you don't like the lefty reels, you can always sell it on here for a $25-35 loss. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted March 27, 2011 Super User Posted March 27, 2011 Congrats. I just ordered the DX795 myself. I'm excited to get my hands on it this week. Already have a Core to go on it, too. Quote

Yes, that actually matters to me ;D Quote

Big Tom Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I don't think a Curado looks too bad on a Champion. I have a 2009 Premier on my Champion (703C) and it looks as good as it feels. I got the Premier for 130 bucks off ebay. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted March 27, 2011 Super User Posted March 27, 2011 Zillion Coastal would look SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick on a champion. Quote
