I ordered 3-28, no rod or shipping info yet. A 736C FH Champion for 1 oz. jigs mainly.
Last Monday 4-6 I ordered direct from Dobyns and received it today. Also, when I called Dobyns I was fortunate and able to speak with
Gary about a Spinnerbait/chatterbait rod. I ordered the DC 736CB

I know I'm mad I didn't order directly from Dobyns. Be lucky to get the rod at all. If they try and cancel I'm calling Dobyns and see if they'll honor the sale even if I have to wait for inventory. They should. They are prioritizing people calling over their dealers which kind of sucks. Should do it based on date of order regardless where the order came from.

It’s just plain wrong if they don’t fulfill orders for an advertised sale and were filling them for folks who ordered after us who were calling direct.

Greg, I agree. This is not a good look! I told my buddy about it and he ordered directly from Dobyns in the 12th hour and has received his two rods. I bet I get the sorry out of stock email. It is not right but not many things in life are. Let us know if Dobyn’s will honor it or not.

A little birdie says that Dobyn's ran out of longer shipping tubes and got some more in late this afternoon. That should enable them to ship those orders that needed a longer tube.

I ordered mine from Dobyn's after some of y'all ordered from S.O. and already have my rod. Bought a Champion XP for $175.00 after tax. Too much to pay for a rod made in China if you ask me.

I didn't realize they were in Sulphur Springs now. That might help me some since it's so close that the warranty issue is less important.
If I wanted a cranking rod for shallow/medium cranks (4-12'), how much improved is the champ versus the fury? Not sure about graphite vs glass. My current cranking rod is a BPS cranking stick, and it's fine but not my favorite. I have the Fury and Champ and the Champ has more backbone to it. So really depends on what you're pulling them out of. Clean water, not going to make a difference. If you have to pull them out of heavier cover or grass you'll like the Champ better. I have a Champ Extreme too and for the money, the Champ is a super nice rod and at 40% off a steal. If you missed the 40% off there is a M/H refurbished Champ for $170 right now. I was actually at Dobyns in Sulpher Springs today exchanging a couple of broken rods. Both were my fault but still nice to have a decent warranty. Thanks Greg. When you say that the Champ has more backbone, that probably is a plus for me. I tend to like stiffer rods. My only concern is how it would handle casting lighter baits? Is it still capable in that respect?

I got one rod but not my big order. I ordered the big order 2 days before I purchased the one they sent. Hopefully I will get it soon.

Is it still capable in that respect? Well, I throw sinkos with it just fine. In fact I use that rod for t-rig even with 1/8 oz weight and sinkos predominantly. I'm mainly using it when I need to pull out of cover and grass. Also use it to throw 6"swim baits on the heavier side. I ordered a 2nd H/F on the sale as I really like this rod as a great all purpose rod.

I ordered mine on the 28th from Sportsmans Outfitters 2 different orders before I knew Gary was also doing the direct sale. I received a shipping notice today from S.O. on the 702, 703, 704, nothing on the 908 yet, but Gary said yesterday that they just got the long tubes in and started shipping the Swimbait rods, so I'm sure it'll come soon.
