    I personally like them both. Champs a bit lighter overall.

    Those two lines are pretty close. Sierras are great rods.

    Just grabbed a Sierra 7ft mh with micro guides (703) for $103.50 at TW!
    Bought a $115 gift card at 10% off, and ordered the rod with it.

    I just bought a Spinning 703 Sierra and also own a older 703 Champion and a 703 Champion Extreme. So far the Sierra feels great especially at the price point I bought it at. I didn't get the 25 days of Christmas deal but did get it on sale. Haven't had a chance to fish it a lot but so far so good.

    Got a sierra 733 and it is the rod I want to grab everytime. I have a couple Champs (jig rod, 763 spinning) so they are specifics but great. I do not think you are giving much up maybe a little and I mean A LITTLE less weight with the champs.

    Looking for a good jerkbait rod. How would the Sierra 6’8”M baitcaster perform as a dedicated jerkbait rod?

    I would guess pretty darn good!
