Both will balance very good. The full handle feels a "tad" better to me. But, I like full handles so it could be just me

Gary Dobyns

Great questions. I always build some tip into my rods for casting. You will not be disappointed in either of them. For the money here with what you're looking for, the Champ might be better but of course my dealers would love to sell you a DX :) Now you must decide if you want Split or full handle. ...

Gary Dobyns

I'll recommend two models . We make a DX 744C that will work awesome and It's my personal rod of choice for dragging/fishing jigs. I also made a Champion 744C jig rod. This rod is $100 less than DX and all of our reports from the field, it's a homerun. I back this up with sales numbers too. I don't ...

Gary Dobyns

I agree with driving the hook home for sure with 766 Flip. But, if you're talking about fishing or dragging a jig there's a lot of other rods that we make that still have power to drive hook home and much easier to fish than the 766. I will say that anglers get used to using different rods for diffe...

Gary Dobyns

The 766 Flip is my personal Flipping rod choice. It has enough tip for pitching smaller baits but has plenty of power for any type of punching. It's a great flippin stick. I would not use for frog rod or jig rod. We have far better choices for these techniques. The 766 is a great flippin stick but h...

If everyone is signed up, in the water, ready to go......we'll go sooner. But we have guys launching at other locations and boating over. Trying to give everyone time to travel safe.

If the fishermen are ready, we'll be ready!!!!

Gary Dobyns

Guys we will be doing registration on Friday night (May 5th) at Big Break Marina from 6-8PM. We will still be accepting sign-ups on Saturday morning. Boat slips are available at Big Break. We've been averaging 170 boats for the first 3 events. Lots of checks to be had and OVER 100% CASH Payback!!!! ...

Gary Dobyns

I'm not positive on 250 but I just priced a 150 and 150 HO and it was $400. Shoot me your phone number. My email GaryD@Dobynsrods.com

I have a 250 HO that needs a home. I'm tied up for couple of hours then I can call you.

Gary D.

Gary Dobyns

There's a little extra HP. I'd order the HO. There could be a couple of other small differences but none I'm aware of. I'll check on this.

Gary Dobyns

Basshol I wouldn't even mind donating some to you either. Many fishermen would not care in the least that I fish but there's about 20-30 that think it's a conflict of interest. I'd much rather fish for sure!!!! Maybe one day.

Gary Dobyns

Awesome info. These are great totals for 16 months.

Wish I could fish

Gary Dobyns

Thanks Ken. Much appreciated!!!!!!

Gary Dobyns

Guys I need two camera boat drivers for Clear Lake this weekend. Saturday is my major problem day. THX in advance!!

Gary Dobyns

We will not be using any sponsor exemptions with team events. Any team fishing 4 of the 4 events will receive an invitation for Championship. This is a change we made from last year. It's a reward for following the circuit all year. Truthfully, some guys don't like this and some do. We need to keep ...

Gary Dobyns

Guys, last year we had some teams qualify with only 2 events. The feedback we received on our questionnaire last year was anglers didn't like this. They wanted guys to have to fish at least 3 events. So the rules were changed so you must fish 3 events and be in the top 50 in points OR fish 4 out of ...

Gary Dobyns

Thanks for all the great comments guys. Much appreciated. We do try to keep customer service at the top of our list. We have the Dobyns store on the website for clothing and reconditioned rods. If you have any questions give us a yell at 530-671-1989. THX!!!!

Gary Dobyns

Thanks guys. I won't ever say we don't make mistakes now and then, but we try hard to make it right when we do. Sorry for late reply I've been traveling. Thx again!!

Gary Dobyns

They will all work but #297 and #325 are very popular in the Delta. I like the 6" as my go to size but I also throw the 7" a lot too.

Gary Dobyns

I see you live in Vacaville. Guns, Fishing & More has them. You're not all that far from Yuba City and our shop either. The SB models have EVA handles all others have cork. There's lots of difference in EVA and we use good stuff. I do agree with you, I'm a cork guy as well.

Gary Dobyns

We have lots of models that throw an A-Rig great. The 794 SB might be best yet. Also, for light rigs 806 CB is what I've used for last several years. 795 SB is probably the most favorite. Lots of options. THX!!!

Gary Dobyns

You'll get many answers here. All are good engines. I have ran Evinrude for last 12-13 years with great luck. The new G2 is best engine I've ever ran. It's quiet, efficient, and powerful. If you're around Norcal I can demo ride one for you. Plus no one will touch their 10 year warranty. It's a boat ...

Gary Dobyns

I'd recommend Lucas Oil. They make everything you need. If it has Lucas name on it you are getting superior oil. They do nothing cheap. Plus they put money back into fishing industry. Can't beat Lucas Oil products.

Gary Dobyns

Dobyns makes two shorter handle SB rods for Glide Baits. The traditional 13"-15" handles get in the way. We make a pair of 7'9" we call SBMT- (Swim Bait Mag Topwater) The rod you really need is Champ 795 SBMT. It was made for this.

THX!!!!!

Gary Dobyns

I'd try hard to talking you into a 7' rod. There's a lot more available options and I believe the longer length with cast farther but also pick up more line on hookset. Dobyns has a LOT of available models that will fit you. Also, we take calls at our shop many times a day helping with advice on wha...

Gary Dobyns

Hello Colleen, What a great unexpected comment!!! In today's busy world people forget that things like this go a long way. We as bass fishermen get a bad rap when in fact we're all doing what we love to do for recreation. Most of us (99.5%) have regular jobs and fishing is our hobby. Yes we try to m...

Gary Dobyns

Dobyns is really strong in SB rods. We make powers from 4 to 9 and lengths from 7'9 to 9'. The two most popular are the 795 SB and the 806 SB. These two let you cover a ton of baits. The new 794 SB is perfect for smaller swimbaits and if you want to take the work out of a 10 XD crankbait, this rod i...

WWWBT lost ONE 14" fish in this Clear Lake event. It was brought to the scales dead. All other fish were released alive. Just a side note. We ran our Team TOC last June in high temps. Fish and Game was there to monitor live well oxygen, holding tank oxygen, release water oxygen, weigh bag oxyge...

Gary Dobyns

We have a dealer locator on our website as I don't know where you live. Dobynsrods.com Please call and make sure they have in stock. This is one of those "special" rods that's jut awesome. If you ever around Yuba City we can certainly show all the CB models at our warehouse. THX!!!!!!!!!!!...

Gary Dobyns

Thanks KB and a couple of others. I have seen massive kills in release boats 3 times and twice in round trailered tanks where they were basically cooked because water was so hot. It was my call to have anglers take the fish out. I personally do not like live release boats and I own one. I prefer to ...

Gary Dobyns

Bump!!

Gary Dobyns

[quote="FISHIN"]Dobyns Champion line (764 CB) love this rod, wish I had 2 of them[/quote] This is a very special CB rod. I also love this rod!! I also throw 704CB, 735 CB Glass, and 736 CB Glass a lot too. We have many great CB rods in lengths from 6'3" to 8' with many powers in each....

Gary Dobyns

Anglers may launch Friday and take their boat straight to boat slips. This will help us a lot on Saturday mornings launch.

THX Guys!!

Gary Dobyns

If I was choosing between those two, I'd pick Berryessa. You could catch a fish of a lifetime there this time of year.

Gary Dobyns

Dave is correct. Mark Miller is head of Quagga program and he'll be at Konocti Vista both Friday night and Saturday morning at 4 AM to make it easier on our fishermen.

Clear Lake Outdoors will also be running longer hours to help all of us. THANKS Dave!!

Gary Dobyns

The 5th Street ramp in Lakeport is now open. One of the docks is taped off. Please DO NOT USE IT!! It is taped with yellow caution tape because it's not secured. This gives us another launch option for Saturday morning WWBT event. It will be another big event for us. I don't know exact numbers but w...

Gary Dobyns

We are getting slammed with sign-ups. Please consider getting a boat slip Friday night. See you there!!!

Gary Dobyns

[quote="john zillig"]Gary What Fury rod would you choose for a ripbait rod?[/quote]

The Fury 705 CB is an excellent jerkbait rod.

Gary Dobyns

My first choice would be a 7'6" rod in Dobyns Champion line (764 CB) - Retail $259 My second choice would be Fury 705 CB @ $109 Dobyns is super strong in CB rods with many powers and lengths at different price points. We also have Glass and Graphite CB rods. If it's for cranking or jerkbaits we...

Gary Dobyns

Please remember Off-limits to Clear Lake started yesterday Monday 6th. This is a common question I'm getting. THX Guys!!

Gary Dobyns

Tomorrow Tuesday 7th is last day to sign-up without late fees. Help us out guys pre-signing will speed up registration at the event. There will be early registration on Friday night 6-8PM @ Konocti Vista Casino/Hotel. We are planning on having two line to speed things up. One line for preregistered ...

Gary Dobyns

See you guys on the 11th. If pre-fishing PLEASE watch your boat wakes this weekend.

Gary Dobyns

We will be blasting off as normal from Konocti Casino on March 11th. There are always rules and laws that vary with every location. I know WWBT will make sure all anglers are aware of the 1/4 mile "no wake" zone. The tournament orgs do not want to reschedule events and will do all they can...

Gary Dobyns

There is a no wake zone 1/4 mile (440yards) from all shorelines. The only ramp open is Konocti Casino.

See you guys there. We will register Friday night as well at the Casino.

THX!!

I LIKE IT!!!!

Gary Dobyns

BoatMasters nailed it and made it simple. As far as brands There are a few. I have always love the one's made by Bob's Machine Shop. No sponsorship deal or anything here. Just great equipment.

Gary Dobyns
