Our take on the Dobyns Xtasy Swimbait Casting Rod 8'0" Heavy

The Dobyns Xtasy is a premium casting rod built for throwing swimbaits and big soft plastics. It uses a Toray Nano graphite blank wrapped in Kevlar, Fuji titanium Torzite guides and a painted Fuji graphite reel seat, with a split cork handle. That parts list puts it above Dobyns' mainstream Champion and Fury lines and in range with other high-end graphite rods. It suits anglers chasing largemouth and smallmouth with heavier baits who want sensitivity and light weight over budget.
