Rod Overview, Use, & Application

Clocking in at a mere 6’8”, the DXC 684F combines short length, medium power, and fast action for the ultimate combination of strength in a small package. When smallmouth bass are hunting and jerkbaits are on the menu, then the DXC 684F is the rod you need. This rod was built especially for fishing a jerkbait. It’s the lightest rod in its class on the market and delivers a perfect snap to make a jerkbait dance like no other rod can. The tip action was specifically designed to enhance the action of your jerkbait and other offerings. This will trigger more action out of the lure than other rods can produce.

When largemouth bass are lurking under low overhanging trees and branches, this rod is great for working a jig in tight windows or when longer rods are too much real estate. When you’re in mixed structure, use the DXC 684F to pop a weedless jig through downed trees, work the jig down through the bottom of deep holes, slide it across rocky bottoms, swim it, and everything in between. Needless to say, there’s not much this casting rod can’t do. But, the one thing it does well across the board is catch bass wherever they’re hiding.

Other Rod Options

If the DXC 684F is close, but not quite the rod you’re looking for, we have you covered. The DXC 685XF offers a medium heavy power and extra fast action, along with a heavier line and lure rating. If you’re interested in a comparable spinning model, look into the DXS 683XF. With the same length, but a medium light power, extra fast action, and lighter line and lure rating, this is a great option when you need to step down gear sizing. If you travel a lot, consider the DXS 7043 (Travel Rod). This 3-piece spinning rod is only 4 inches longer than the DXC 684F and features medium power, extra fast action, and closely related line and lure ratings.
