I sent rod sections to the Irving warehouse 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything. You can't talk to anyone at the warehouse to check status. They outsource to call centers

I don't have any of the Fury/Sierra series... but I do have lots of Champs, a few Extremes, and a handful of Xtasy's... I was disapointed with the intial sale and how the employyes were treated, as I suspect most were. And I've seen these buyouts ruin many outdoor brands especially when Bowhunting started getting so much more popular back in the late 1990's/early 2000's. But it was Gary's company and he ran it for a long time and deserved a nice retirement.

The subsequent sale to PE really bothered me though, but it was out of Gary's control at that point. Apparently GSM was still going to honor the Military discount (which is one of the best in the industry), not sure if PE will change that. However I'm not sure I'll be buying any more Dobyns. I can't afford to dump and rebuy across the board as I have over 30 Dobyns Rods, but will be looking at other brands for future purchases like ALX, Fitzgerald, maybe even going back to Loomis.
