New Dobyns rod line 3/9/2010 - Bassfan

Dobyns Rods has introduced its new Savvy Series line of rods to appeal to both beginning and cost-conscious bass anglers. The 13 models join the company's Champion and Champion Extreme lines.

Included are four spinning rods, seven casting rods and two flipping/pitching models that retail for $149.99.

Company founder Gary Dobyns, the West's all-time leading money winner and reigning U.S. Open champion, said backbone is the trademark of the Savvy Series, and that begins with the rod blank.

“A high-quality, top-end blank is essential to a great rod," he said. "I really centered the design of the Savvy Series around the blank. I will not sell a rod that I cannot personally fish with, and it was a very lengthy process of refinement just to get the feel of the rod just right.

"As a result, I can now say with absolute confidence that the Savvy Series blank blows others at the same or even more expensive prices completely out of the water.”

Quality cork encompasses the rod blank on all Savvy models. A split rear grip is incorporated in all but the 766 flipping model, in addition to a no-foregrip design. The grip arrangement reduces overall weight, assures balance, and helps to facilitate direct hand contact with the blank.

Savvy spinning models range in length from 6-foot-9 to 7-foot and include medium-light and medium power ratings. The 6-foot-6 to 7-foot-3 casting portfolio includes most popular medium-heavy to extra-heavy power and length combinations. Two flipping and pitching models round out the Savvy line.

Utilizing the same family of components as other Dobyns Rods, the Savvy Series boasts Kigan Alconite guides, a custom-painted reel seat with Fuji hood, and low profile hook keeper. Those features, highlighted with decorative wrapping and rod end cap, are included in each model to introduce new anglers to the Dobyns line.

“I wanted to make the Savvy Series good enough that fishermen considering a less-expensive rod will look at the Savvy Series and say, ‘For an extra couple of bucks, I can get a Dobyns Rod with so many more features.’”
