Dobyns Rods 702 SF

by JD on February 12, 2009

West Coast bass wizard Gary Dobyns has completely re-designed his entire Dobyns Rods lineup for 2009 and has a whole mess of technique-specific sticks to cover just about any bass fishing situation you’ll encounter. The Dobyns Rods’ new 702 SF spinning stick is a nice, lightweight and modestly priced entry aimed at finesse plastics aficionados. But how does it fish?

GLoomis GWR 901C

by JD on December 15, 2008

Okay, so the first thing you’ll notice about the GLoomis GWR 901C is the color. The bright aqua color (GLoomis calls it “Seafoam Green”) is hard to miss — and rest assured you’ll always be able to spot which rod is yours in the boat in an instant. Color aside, does the rod live up to the manufacturer’s claims of being extremely light and sensitive and an excellent stick for large topwater plugs and soft plastics?

Micro Rod.jpg

I’m not totally sure why I need one of these, but I somehow find myself intrigued by the Stutzman Micro Rod.

It’s 32-inches of flea-flickin’ fun that will supposedly cast a line 25 feet. Several small streams with lots of overhanding brush and tiny brook trout come to mind and a couple bluegill infested farm ponds also would be fun. God help ya if you hooked a 3-pound largemouth, however…

The Stutzman rod comes with a functioning reel, line and tippet. The rod and reel combo’s a tad on the pricey side at $250, but it does come with your choice of reel and thread wrap color and you get to choose from Bocote, Bubinga, Cocobolo, Kingwood, Tulipwood, Zebrawood or Ziricote for the wood handle (if you have any clue what any of those look like…I don’t).
