SJ are generally a bit faster than the MB, with a touch to two touches more power. Are you saying the SJ loads and casts smaller baits with greater ease?

Yes, the sj722 loads up better with light jigs than the xray 733 does.

I've been debating between the two. SJ it shall be

Dont get me wrong - both are awesome and equally capable with a 1/4 oz hair jig. But the sj732 just has a little bit of a faster and lighter action tip. I fished both a good bit with all lures, and the 732 is my hair jig rod, the 733 is my tube and swimbait rod.

I'll compare them to the rods I fished exclusively prior to going all custom - the st croix legend tournament. The 733 is fairly equal in flex to the 6-10 medium legend tournament. The 732 is just a tad bit lighter, but not as light as a legend tournament medium light. If I had to put a number value on it, I'd say the 732 is 10 -15% lighter action less than the 733, but the St croix medium light would be approx 25% lighter action than the medium.

Swimbaits? Like lighter paddle tails?
