Dobyns Champion XP Crankbait Casting Rods are all you'll ever need for one of fishing's most popular techniques: Crankbaits. A true crankbait rod needs a soft tip so the crankbait will work properly and have a full range of motion. Too fast a tip and the lures movement is restricted. But with a necessary soft tip often comes whippy rods with disappointing power.
Dobyns Champion XP Casting Rods set the new standard for sensitivity, strength, weight and balance and now featuring Fuji Guides! Champion XP Series rods feature proprietary high modulus graphite blanks, Fuji Alconite guides, Kevlar wrapping, Fuji graphite reel seats and AA grade Portugal cork. Champion XP Series rods are light, strong, sensitive and perfectly balanced. Best of all, every Champion XP casting rod is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty as well as Gary Dobyns No Hassle Replacement Policy.
Rod Uses: Crankbaits, Jerkbaits, Poppers, Sammys, Gunfish, Staycee 90

The champion XP line is the sweetspot for Dobyns. There are some higher end and some lower end in the company. I have some of the highest end they make, love them. Factoring price and function, the Champion XP is a high end rod that is moderately priced. These are very good rods. I compare them to St. Croix legend tournament rods.
The 704cb, in particular for jerkbaits, is really a nice rod to fish. It has been amazing and I will get another to avoid re-tying when using flukes and jerkbaits. Light weight, great feel, very good sensitivity, and like all Dobyns...will pin a fish. Let the rod do the work.
