    How’s a Dobyns 704CB Glass for shad raps and deeply tiny N cranks?

    Wanted to know if this rod is the perfect action for super small and tiny crankbaits like a small Shad rap and a small Normans deep Tiny N (1/8 ounce )
    704CB Glass….. who owns the 704 CB glass and what do you like to use it for?

    I use it for all my balsa flatsides. Great rod that keeps fish pinned well. I would be a little worried about the smaller profile baits. 1/8oz is light and I’m not sure a 4 power is going to be a good choice.

    Also my use for the 704cb glass. Love smaller flat sides. But yea I don’t think this rod will throw a traditional Shad rap very well. It will throw the black label “Shad rap” type bait but it also weighs 3/8oz

    Yeah, I have one and would not use it for tiny cranks.

    I use mine for Little Johns. I also agree it wouldn’t be good for 1/8oz

    I like my Dobyns 804 cb Champion. Throw all my square bills and down to 1/8 oz cranks

    Was just throwing 1/4 Money Badger on my 704 yesterday, it was passable but think it would not have been so if the bait was any lighter.
