New Dobyns flagship rod on the horizon?

Post by Chode » Fri Sep 04, 2015 5:18 am

Usually when a rod goes on sale like the dx extreme on TW, it means a newer model is coming out. I know somebody on here knows something. Spill the beans plz.

Maybe after all these years the Zayta is going to make an appearance?

Just talked to Dobyns...the new Extremes are being brought in as inventory of the current models sell out... A few are in now.
I was going to order a DX 784C but now am thinking of waiting...Problem is that is a very good seller and will probably be one of the last to come in.
We have a great Smallie jig bite up here on the Great Lakes that kicks in soon and goes thru the fall...The DX 784 seems to be a perfect match for long casts in gin clear water with light fluoro... :P

Fuji guides instead of Kigan, different graphite, up to 3/4oz lighter overall :-$ :-$

Now I'm intrigued. I guess they finally got tired of replacing the guides.

Wonder what the new blank is. Any more hints?

That's all I know 8-[
Although I sold all of my DX's, these revamps do have my attention.

Doesn't matter what they do. I'll have to stick with what I have. :?
I have to keep away until the exchange rate on the $ gets better. :(

My newest DX is a 746 but I would love to add a new model to compare

I'm excited to see what they have to offer, but I was really hoping for that higher end model we've been hearing about for years. Don't get me wrong, I love both my DX rods, but since tapping that keg on NRX's and Custom's, my use of the DX as bottom contact has slowed.
