Anyone have both? I have had the AA DSR for a year and love it. Far better than what I was using before. I am also a huge fan of Dobyns. I have reels from the Fury series to the Chanpions. I wanted to try and xtasy so I got the 723sf for drop shotting as that is what I do the most of. I have heard great things about not only the xtasy line but of this particular rod and how sensitive it is. The rod is amazing quality, fit, and finish but I am highly disappointed. The best way I can describe the feeling is dull. Maybe not compared to most rods but at least compared to the DSR. I feel guilty complaining about this rod but the DSR is better for casting, feeling, and catching. I put it through the ultimate test on St Clair and Erie this weekend.

Can anyone relate? Am I missing something? For $550 I want blown away but after trying these, I want to buy more DSR's.
