Chuck Lacroix of Montgomery, Louisiana fishes his home waters; Cane River, Red River, and Black Lake. Chuck has been a Dobyns Rods fan for over two years and dreams of hitting Lake Fork in Texas with his Dobyns rods to smash some TX Largemouth Bass! We asked Chuck which rod in his Dobyns arsenal was his favorite, he said “any Champion XP, but especially the DC 736CB GLASS". Chuck explained that the DC 736CB GLASS is the perfect chatter-bait rod for him. His “go-to” technique is flipping jigs, tubes, and beavers. To date, Chuck’s largest Bass was 9.85, he has had four around 9.7.
Chuck fishes the 318 Singles Club that was started last year with an entry fee of $150 per tournament. He also fishes multiple open tournaments.
Chuck’s best fishing tale: he was fishing a singles tournament, had a 7lb plus in a top on jig, she got hung up in limbs about 3 feet deep, so he put the net down into the water. Just as he got it in front of her, she broke the line and swam into net. She was the big bass of tournament and cashed him a check.
We love to know how our fans found Dobyns Rods for the first time. Chuck said “I broke a Lews rod on Toledo in a tournament 2 1/2 years ago. I bought my first my first Dobyns rod in a tackle store there and have been hooked since that day."

It’s been my experience that winter and early spring are great times to catch big bass. The fishing can be tough so finesse fishing is one way to catch them. We could talk about many techniques such as Shakey heads or Ned rigs. I want to focus on drop shot fishing with the quality and performance of the Champion Extreme HP DX 702SF and DX 703SF.
We all know about the huge Smallmouth in the Northern US and the legendary Dale Hollow Lake in KY & TN. Drop shot techniques work extremely well on clear water reservoirs. I always have a DX 702SF and DX 703SF ready no matter if I’m fishing at Dale Hollow or the Tennessee River lakes because they hold up to the biggest Largemouth Bass. I am talking about strength. My personal best Largemouth was caught on a DX 703SF using a drop shot with a worm on Lake Berryessa, CA and it weighed 12.64 lbs. I always use Gamma Fishing Line, usually fluorocarbon because of their quality and strength.
