I have a bunch of Dobyns rods and like all of them. I have three 784 rods that make excellent C-rig rods. I have heard others say they use that rod for spoons and jigs.

Thanks guys. Comments are much appreciated!!! We are now housed in Sulphur Springs TX. We have many dealers and several around Lake Fork that'll help with any questions or you can call us for rod recommendations anytime at (903) 919-8028. We have 7 different rod series in price points from $80 to $550. We have too many models  These are all BASS rods plus one crappie jig model. I'm a bass fishermen so that's what we build. We have all lengths and actions and without counting I believe between 180 to 200 models with a few new one's I'm adding. I must count these one day Anyway, thanks again for the comments!!!!! Please yell if we can answer questions!! THX!!! I've been exploring getting a few simply because I had heard you moved out here with the rest of us rednecks.. . Look forward to it

I would choose Dobyns and just did. I bought another Dobyns this past Saturday at the Skeeter Owners Tournament. I bought the Champion XP 734 for Spinnerbaits.

This last weekend Dobyns had a booth set up at the Skeeter Owners with some outstanding prices on some outstanding rods.

Dobyns makes a fine rod. Have quite a few myself. Haven't picked up a TFO rod that felt good to me.

So, are we comparing 280 dollar rods to 99 dollar rods? Seems the Dobyns all of y'all mention are a lot more money

The Fury series is an outstanding rod for the price. It all depends on what you like and how much your budget can handle. I have several Fury rods, three Sierra rods, and a bunch of Extremes.
Gary offers a ton of rods to choose from between $100 to $500. What you choose is up to you.

Never fished with TFO but every dobyns rod I ever owned I had issues with the eyes and inserts falling out (This has been several years ago so it could have changed) Ended up giving them to a buddy and going with a rod manufacturer that used insertless recoil guides and have not looked back. I do have a lot of buddies that have exclusively dobyns and really like them though!

I own 15 plus Dobyns rods and I have also had issues with eyes and inserts. Exactly twice. Both times I reached out to Dobyns and they took care of the problem. I don't expect their rods to be perfect but for me their customer service darn sure was!

I do have a lot of buddies that have exclusively dobyns and really like them though! So I'd like to hear it from the horses mouth...Mr. Dobyns... have these eye/insert issues been squared away? I'm also thinking of going to your brand. I've been a Loomis owner for years now. The first $100+ rod I ever bought was back when Barlows first started carrying them probably in the late 80's. I don't mind paying for quality...as long as that's what you're getting. $200+ for a rod that has the inserts pop out would not make me a happy camper!
