And a lot of people say Dobyns over St. Croix so naturally Dobyns over megabass, yes thats flawed logic but it seems those two are better

If your throwing mostly spinnerbaits and looking at a Dobyns than go with a Champion and not a DX in my opinion.

Why is that?

It just seems that based on everything I have read, that is a better rod. Been looking at those dobyns, legend elite/extreme, and the two megabass ones.

Actually leaning towards a Dobyns dx 703 or 704C

Yeah I got in touch with him, any suggestions on a rod? Legend Elite, Dobyns, or maybe just an X4?

Ill be using primarily spinnerbaits so ill be buying for that, how do I get in touch with him?

I have been using an im7 for about the last 10 years (forget the brand) and its been great but I got the money so I figure I could use an upgrade. It seems that everyone has their own preference on which rod company and setup so I'm open to other options but I've heard good things about this rod. I ...

Thanks for all the help so far although all the posts are making it hard to decide but I think that means there are several good rods out there.

I do think it might be a good idea to get a somewhat powerful stick in case I hit a bigger pike. Whats...

I am looking at getting a new bass/pike setup and it will be basically be for spinnerbaits. Seems that opinions vary on what specs to get, my current is 7 feet Medium power. Looking at getting a legend xtreme but hearing Dobyns and mega bass also have good offerings. Thanks for any advice, what powe...

Ok, I do have a rod/reel specifically for muskie so this would be primarily pike/bass. I guess I wouldn't mind having a little overkill just because of the wide range of pikes but maybe it would hurt my bass chances.

Hello everyone, just joined the forum. I am from Minnesota and enjoy fishing for bass, pike, and muskies. I have been using the same rod/reel combo for bass/pike for several years and think it is time to step it up. I am considering a legend xtreme (probably overkill) and a few different reels. Some...
