For other rod weights do to stickey above. Don't compare this rod weight to MH or H rods, you need to compare to XH or XXH.

Japan Tackle prices seem to be going up. Yen has at 99something today.

I just checked the reel seat on my new SRD and Nautilus and didn't see anything unusual. Have mount a reel on them, but only for a short time. I checked the reel seat on my Power Versatile and my Z left marks on the reel seat, but nothing you wouldn't expect. All seat seats are slick and shinely.

I've been thowing mid-range crankbaits, rattletraps, and spooks with a Dobyns 705CB, works well. It has a moderate-fast action and works well around grass.

I love this thread, every time I see a rod I'm interested in I come here for the weight. Saves a lot of time. Thanks to all of you that have spent for time accumulating this information.

I can't help with the non-precription part of your question, but maybe with the bifocal part. Clear bifocal leanse may not be a good idea. I had photo-gray lenses in a bifocal, and they did not get as dark and the top part of the lense. On a bright day if your looking down a lot, this caused me to g...

Not sure what this has to do with OCD, unless you're cleaning your baitcasters everyday. This is more of an addiction thing. I know for me, I am in the same boat. I used to buy sub-$100 combos from Dicks and thought I had a sweet setup. Especially in my area, where Zebco is considered high-end. The...

Silas, you need to be careful, I started with the same 2 rods. It has cost me a lot of money. :lol: I just picked up a Nautilus and Super Red Demon that Gary ordered for me this week. Last week Brian sold me a used TD ito and a demo Power Versatile. I have just about replace all my rods with Megabas...

I looking for spinning rod for wife and son in law. i have several spinning rods that I use for shakey head and drop shot, but nothing heavy enough for bottom contact and grass. I found a deal on this rod and wondered if it would work.

Nice rod, looking forward to your review.

Does anyone have a Dobyns DX 764SF? I am looking for a longer spinning rod and wondered if this rod could be used for deep jigging and light flipping/pitching.

On the menu soon =P~ http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg528/africanbass/dc_1_zpsfd182b63.jpg http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg528/africanbass/dc_4_zps833d0429.jpg http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg528/africanbass/dc_2_zps77f25fdd.jpg http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg528/africanbass...

I just got one a little ago although did not fish it, and it can be held that way just as many other rods. Not sure what the reel seat is called, but it's Fuji. I'd say the blank feels kind of 'heavy and sloppy' and not too crisp, but I'm sure it was deliberately made this way and will do well on t...

That is the nicest combo I have ever seen. Hall of fame.

I have almost pulled the trigger several times on this deal. If you read the fine print it is only for retail priced items. So if the brand item you want is like Daiwa and is excluded from sales its a good deal. If not your better off selling your equipment yourself and purchasing the item on sale. ...
