The DRX 723 is a very sensitive 3 power rod w lots of backbone…I boated several big Bass and Walleye on this rod last season using contact baits… Its smaller brother the 722 is close in action with a tad softer, more sensitive tip…and a great Drop Shot rod…Most $$$ rods I have ever bought but well worth it!
Rated 5 out of 5

This is my favorite rod in the Xtasy line up. It took my a while to find its sweet spot, but when I did, wow talk about fun. This rod excels at weightless senkos texas rigged! You can cast these rigs a mile, and the sensitivity is OFF THE CHARTS. It is also good for paddle tail swimbaits up to 3.8 and 4.3 size on 3/8 to 1/2 jig heads. I am sure it would be a good wacky rig/neko rig rod as well, but I haven’t been able to untie the weightless rig at this point. Catching too many fish and having too much fun. Light, sensitive, balanced and SHARP looking stick. Gary hit a homerun with these sticks and the medium powered models are the sweet spot. Sensitive, but not flimsy like their counterparts from other manufacturers. I have been catching 3 to 4 lb largemouth bass in the grass on 10 to 12 lb braid to leader without losing any fish or the rod being overpowered. Truly rugged and powerful sticks that give you the ultimate in finesse fishing sensitivity.!!
