That is the Dobyns I have and it is a wonderful rod. It balances really well with a Regal 1000 on it. It really became a "go to" type rod vs being a jigging rod, or drop shot rod or whatever, it was just my favorite.

If you like Dobyns, you should really look at the TFO rods. They are somehow tied to Loomis, they are made in Korea (If I remember correctly) and and just a fantastic rod, that, I feel is hard to beat at any price without getting into the JDM stuff again.
