    Ended up getting a Dobyns 704 as it just felt better in my hands.

    For what it's worth that Endurance 733 has become one of my favorite rods for a lot of different things. Extra 3in doesn't seem to affect my accuracy. Light and has a nice handle. The 734 in Powell or Dobyns is a really popular model and very versatile for slightly heavier baits.

    I recently purchased a Powell 734H for lipless crankbaits. I use 30# 832 suffix braid with a 17# Fluorocarbon leader. Feels a little stiff, but has plenty of flex with a bait tied on. I am really happy with it.. This would be a great spinner bait and chatterbait rod.
