Nice video! Adding another D. Sierra to my collection as we speak from TW...your video pushed me over the edge plus the sale today. :)

[@HellaBass]

Which Sierra you ordering?

[@davidsedlacek3855]

@@HellaBass I have a few but always wanted a 704c for pitching a jig around stuff up close. I'm in Pa so trees, few docks, weeds, rock piles..normal stuff with smaller fish then you are use too I'm sure. 1-4lbers mostly.

Good show Rich 🎣🎣

[@HellaBass]

Darius do you think the extra edits of fish clips were worth it?

[@dariusking2927]

@@HellaBass yes l like it. Fishing was pretty good today at Kentucky lake lot of wind going again tomorrow not supposed to be as windy 🎣🎣

[@HellaBass]

Wind was brutal in MN today as well

Good stuff Rich!! Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and yours. 🎣

[@HellaBass]

Thnx Bob, same to you 🎅🎅🎅

Cannot agree more. Slowly changing all my rods to Dobyns Fury. Have 5 already for various applications and can’t be happier with the quality.

[@HellaBass]

Great bang for your 💵 with Furys

[@gabemontgomery6528]

Good video Rich

[@HellaBass]

Glad you enjoyed it. Your thoughts on the fishing clips mixed into the video??? Help with the story or distracting?

[@fishingwithjakea2433]

Like 50% of the tournament I win are dock fishing and I use the same rods as you but I have the 735 I like that extra 3 inches of tip sections Love the videos keep up the great work

[@HellaBass]

Agreed, dock fishing can be a great way to bust a good bag. I often mix in my DX745c for dock fishing as well. Also tempted to try the xtasy 725c

[@fishingwithjakea2433]

@@HellaBass it always amazed me that people are scared to skip way back into docks or are scared to back lash so they simply cast to the front and wonder why the don’t catch fish

[@HellaBass]

Agreed, but makes it better for those of us that will and DO

[@dong8307]

Great info. Just got a Sierra 705c to throw spinnerbaits on. I guess I could also use as a dock rod.

[@HellaBass]

There you go, WINNING!

[@tesch21]

Just bought a DC705 from the Tackle Warehouse sale. Need to step up the dock skipping game this year.

[@HellaBass]

Dynamite rod, way more than just a dock rod!

[@jaysfishtails9416]

Hello OK I know this is not a dobyns video but I have a question about dobyns I Bought a 7’3 medium heavy Dobyns Sierra series Rod from tw but it feels more like a medium than a medium heavy how do I know what to buy next to get the right rod the numbers on it say sa733c

[@HellaBass]

rod powers are pretty subjective and not standardized across manufacturers, most say Dobyns run a tad light compared to many others. I like the SA733c as a light texas rig or moving bait rod. What do you want the rod to do?

[@Texasbroski512]

Was about to pull the trigger on a dobyns extreme hp dx 704c should I step up to the 705?

[@HellaBass]

Yes

[@garyong2499]

Got a 20 year old Berkley Series One rod 6'8" pistol grip with a 3" knob coming out the back of the handle. Never found a good use for it but it now becomes my dock rod. The Booyah Swim jig that I burn, will skip real well with this setup. Always learning, not always catching.

[@HellaBass]

Shorter rods do make it a bit easier to be accurate around shallow cover. Learning is half the fun

[@bassmastermatt]

Will have to try a Dobyns some day.....right now mostly rocking St. Croix. Need to get my hands on one to see how they feel.

[@HellaBass]

I always let somebody check out the rods if we are fishing together or if I see them at the dock etc

[@seantaylor6953]

Try using hi-vis braid and if you want to go straight braid take a sharpie in dark green or black and just color the braid as far up as you need. Get the best of both worlds, no stretch and easier to see strikes.

[@HellaBass]

Good idea

[@Texasbroski512]

I was thinking of getting a Dobyns DX 704 for skipping 1/2 oz jigs pluss a trailer do you recommend going 705 instead?

[@HellaBass]

I definitely prefer the 705 for docks, started with a 704 & bumped up to 705 years ago. A bit personal preference, I use straight 20-22lb fluoro on docks, if you are a braid guy, then maybe 704 would be good.

[@Texasbroski512]

@@HellaBass yes definitely braid I use 40lb suffix and love how good it feels to set the hook on a good sized bass like 5ish pounds

[@bobpayseno7481]

Thanks for the great tips Rich. I couldn't agree more about practicing more with your baitcasters by skipping under targets in the iff season. I actually had a friend of mine give me two of his baitcasters because he couldn't stop backlashing. I tried to show him how to prevent this from happening as often but he just said he's done with baitcasters...what a shame.

[@HellaBass]

It's not for everyone lol, one man's trash is another's treasure!

[@bobpayseno7481]

@@HellaBass True that!😉

[@bobpayseno7481]

True that Rich!😉

[@RedneckViking]

703sf is a great skipping , wacky rig rod . Went with the 684cb cause I'm short but has backbone, now I'm curious about the 705cb now the magheavy

[@HellaBass]

CB as in Crsnkbait rods?

[@RedneckViking]

@@HellaBass Don't know why I said cb , sorry. Been over thinking stuff all day.

[@HellaBass]

Stress of the holidays lol

[@HellaBass]

I started with DX704c for docks when I first tried Dobyns coming from a Loomis 844 and felt the need to bump up to 705 for me personally

[@RedneckViking]

@@HellaBass I like that that dobyns community is so diverse. I liked that the 684 loads up with a half oz jig . Not sure if they make a 685 but I'm 5ft6 I can only imagine your 6ft or taller.

[@_bilski]

Does the weight interfere with the skipping abilities of the wacky rig??

[@HellaBass]

Which weight are you asking about?

[@areddfishing7473]

Nice I’m surprised by the 5 power choice. I’m more in the 734 range fury. Plenty of back bone and a like alittle parabolic bend. What size jig are you throwing mostly?

[@HellaBass]

3/8oz most and quite a bit 1/2 as well

[@Garminrules]

So I gotta buy more rods? I thought 12 was enough.

[@HellaBass]

Not a requirement, but just arming you with the info if so inclined 😉

[@Garminrules]

@@HellaBass good info!....gotta keep my mind open.
