The warehouse is in Sulfur Springs. The Sierra line of rods are totally awesome for the price point and a Fury is a super value for what Gary sells them for. Fury best bang for the buck according to Gary. The Champion Extremes are awesome rods. You can get them replaced at Fork and any dealer. I just got one replaced at Fun and Sun in Hurst.

TFO builds some great rods and are located in Dallas. I switched to all tfo and like them a lot. warrantied one that broke with no questions, just texted a picture of the model etc. and had a new one in 3 days. I use either an xh or mh for worms, no problem with sensitivity both are 7' 3", xh has a lews superduty wide spool, mh has a revo winch. xh is for larger weights/worms, mh is up to 3/8 oz. the dobyns are good too, have used a couple and liked them but no idea what model they were

Yes, Lake Fork Resort has a large line of Dobyns rods. Yes LFT will do you right, there is another tackle store on the East side that will sell you one but won't stand behind them. The Extreme is about $350.

Falcon has a great warranty process. Straight forward and if they don't 100% warranty it, then they offer you a heavy discount to get a new rod.

How did we ever manage to catch a single fish without expensive rods? LOL! I've got cheapo's and I've got an NRX. Honestly, I wouldn't spend the money for another NRX. I manage to catch plenty of fish on rods that cost 1/3 of the NRX. Go to a few shops and see which one feels right to you that's in your price range. I can't buy a rod/reel or a golf club without it being in my hands.

I find myself reaching for my Shimano Zodias or one of my Mossyback series Loomis more than the $550 NRX rods. I'd never spend NRX money again, well actually I didn't spend it to begin with. My wife thought I needed some NRX rods so she spent the green as a retirement gift.

For bass I'm strongly considering moving off of my plethora of manufacturers down to just one, Fitzgerald.

you can use an eagle claw pistol grip glass rod and catch the same fish that a 600.00 custom rod will catch. have to learn how to use what ya got. I have upgraded due to rods becoming old, still use them off and on but newer is preferred so I don't break stuff.

I really enjoy my NRX’s, GLX’s, and the old cara T7’s. I also have some of the donyns champion extreme that are nice rods also. But when it comes to warranty it can be hit or miss most companies are great these days but some still want you to have the original receipts lol

ALX for sure. 1 to 5 years on warranty, based on model, but lifetime warranty with replacement fee. Made in America and can get any of their rods custom made if you want a change.
