I'd like to hear some opinions on these rods: dc744c, dx745c, and dx784c. Ive been able to acquire them over the past few years. They all feel and fish great. Im trying to decide which one for which use...c-rig, 3/8-1/2 oz plus trailer, and mag worm with 1/8-1/4 weight. Honestly, I may like the 784 the best for all those applications. It is a sweet rod, but I want to keep the other two. The 745 seems like it will be incredibly versatile, and the dc744 really sticks them. Thoughts/opinions?

The 784 would be off the table for me just because personally I think it's too long. The 744 Champion jig rod is faster than lightning. I use Loomis JWR actions and it felt too fast for my liking.  So, that leaves the 745 . I've always felt it was a great power and action.
I like it for 1/2 -5/8 oz. There are some that will throw 3/8 on it but it I'm not one of them.

Dc744c has become my go to for 1/4 to 1/2 oz jigs.
I have the DRX755 and it is my 1/2 - 3/4 oz jig rod.
The 784 is my go to for deep water carolina rigging.

Pretty much the same as Zippy but I use my 784 as a light pitching rod for plastics.

I love throwing the 1/4 jig w/trailer but have honestly been used by a dx743s for it. I'll give the 744 a try and let the 745 double for mag worms and big jigs.
