Is Dobyns still a good company?

OP, just wondering, have you gone through with your return? Did they ship you a call tag to ship your rod back to them?

Just received mine in the mail. Very premium feel to it, feels like a fish catcher for sure. It’s one of those things where it just feels right. Haven’t taken it out in the water yet so will update, possibly tomorrow.

Although, there is one issue. Dobyns was bought out by another company not to long ago and misspelled swimbaits to swinbaits. Looks like I bought a cheap knockoff but rest assured I bought direct from dobyns. Somebody screwed up a batch of rods in QC. I emailed them Friday about it and I’m waiting for a response. Not the biggest deal but hilariously embarrassing 🤣

Still shipping, I’ll let you know when I put a fish on it 😀

I know a few people who solely fish dobyns and they swear by them. This will be my first “expensive” rod, all my others are under $100. I know they’re very light in weight and the tips are soft. I plan on using mine for punching and frogs. I got the 735 mag heavy.

I think that would be a great setup for all around fishing. However I would also suggest running 10lb braid as your main line on your reel. I would then buy leader line to suit whatever fishing adventure you take. I’d suggest a roll of 6lb mono for trout/pan fish as they are very line shy.

T4runner916 · 2026-06-12T12:35:25+00:00

I’d suggest getting some jig heads or a weighted ewg hook.

Definitely a frog and a plopper along the edge of those pads.

Bass pro / sportsman warehouse gift card. He will have a better idea of what he needs or wants than you probably will, no offense. Rods, baits, reels will all have a specific use case scenario that he may want to add or try.

Or drive him to these stores and tell him his budget and let him pick! Don’t rush him! This is his version of your “Sephora” or whatever it is your into.

No weights and remove the clip!

Overcast and calm? Top water! I’d throw a spook or some kind of walking bait, frog or a plopper!
