Mich. St8 Spartan Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 Well I was in a store today and I found a Dobyns Savvy 735c on sale ($20 off). Because I am new to flipping and pitching I decided to take a chance on one. What the heck, was not that much money, seems like a nice, sensitive rod, and I can always upgrade. So for $140 I think it was a good deal. Now I just have to decide on a reel. Glad I am easy at making decisions Thanks for all you help! Quote
Fat-G Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 That'll be a great rod for you man. Congrats on the purchase! Quote
piscicidal Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 For me, the Dobyns 735C is about perfect for pitching. I like the 7'3" length...for each person the optimal length probably depends on your height/boat type. I think you want the longest rod you can pitch underhanded (i.e. max distance). the 735c has a great action for pitching...the rod will load a little bit pitching a small bait, but it has a fast enough tip and plenty of backbone to nail the fish when it strikes. Sensitivity is very good. Quote
