So I just received a couple certificates for Dobyns rods, just wanted to hear some opinions on some of your favorites. I already own a couple models and like them. Looking at picking up a casting and spinning.

Depends on your needs. The Champion 734c is the most versatile stick in the lineup for everything from spinnerbaits, swimjigs, buzzbaits. For spinning the 703 sf or if you fish more open hook stuff the 702 sf. Those would be my first choice for casting and spinning.
The Champ Extreme 745 DX is an awesome jig rod. 795dx for flip/ punch. And the 736cb glass for chatterbaits. Champ 735c for frogs.
I could go on and on.
champion 703sf for all around spinning, tough to beat a champion 734c...great all around rod, 733c another great multi purpose rod
Can’t really speak for spinning but if I was getting 3 casting rods for versatility I would get:
Champion or Extreme 745 for jigs and frogs and heavier cover fishing
Champion 705 CB for cranks, medium sized topwater and moving baits
Champion or Extreme 743 or 703 for Texas rigs, weightless plastics, spinner baits and chatterbaits
Casting:
744c for pitching, jigs, t-rigs
All of the cbglass rods, but if I had to choose one, the 765cbglass is my favorite rod above all the others because of its versatility.
806 cb for 8/10xds and I have recently fell in love with it for 3/4-2oz swimbait applications.
Spinning:
703sf, no question just an all around good rod.

If you want or need only one spinning rod, the DX742SF is THE rod to get. (Note: I fish mostly smallmouth in clear, open water)
784 nice football dragger and spoon rod
805cb rm will be all you need for crAnks
For Jigs the 744 is top of the food chain , as good as jig rod as you will ever try ! For 109$ the 735c is also a fine piece !
DX745HP for sure!
