What more could a guy ask for. Gary, let me tell you how happy I have been with your rods! I have a 765cb glass, 684cb, 685cb, 734c and a 702SF. I had my best fishing season this year winning two tournaments and landing my biggest smallmouth all using Dobyns rods. I think I'm going to go with the dx744. Thanks to all the bbc members offering advice and a big thanks to Gary for adding the wow factor to my post! You rock!
