XMatrix DXC 704M | 8-15 lb | 1/4-5/8 oz

Techniques: Chatterbait, Lipless & Squarebill Crankbaits, Small Crankbaits, Topwater, Wakebaits

Rod Overview, Use, & Application

The DXC 704M was created for bass anglers who enjoy fishing a variety of moving baits and want a rod that allows each presentation to perform exactly as intended. At 7’0″ with a medium power and moderate action, this casting rod loads effortlessly on the cast, helping anglers achieve smooth, controlled presentations without overpowering lighter lures. It’s an outstanding choice for squarebill crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, and bladed jigs, where maintaining consistent lure action is just as important as the retrieve itself. The proprietary carbon blank absorbs the sudden surges and head shakes that often cause fish to throw treble-hooked baits, increasing the odds of keeping bass hooked from strike to landing. Despite its forgiving action, the rod remains remarkably responsive, giving anglers excellent control throughout every retrieve.

Outfitted with premium Fuji guides, a Fuji reel seat, and comfortable EVA grips, the DXC 704M offers the refined feel and dependable performance that serious bass anglers appreciate every time they hit the water. Some rods are designed to overpower a fish. Others are designed to help anglers fish more effectively. The DXC 704M belongs in the second category, providing the smooth action, casting consistency, and lure control that help every presentation look more natural and every day on the water become more productive.
