You can buy them cheap on BBC or here most of the time. They had a TON of prostaff guys. And they are always selling here and there.

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 mailed a rod section plus the check to cover the no hassle replacement to them in Irving last week. Was received by GSM on Friday. Received an email from them today acknowledging receipt and that the order had been placed showing a ship date of today as well. No issues at all.

I found out yesterday while reading some Dobyns Rods Community Facebook page that Chris Atkinson who I have gotten to know in the Ray Hubbard Bass Club (great angler) and was part of the Sulphur Springs crew is working for GSM. I saw that he was already posting and letting people know he would find out info on issues they had which will definitely make a big difference in Dobyn's customer service. I already have a ton more confidence in Dobyn's future with him available to contact with any questions or issues.

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. Give Kistler a try, great rods and great customer service.

Shouldn’t I just be able to go to Lake Fork Marina and exchange my rod?

Give Kistler a try, great rods and great customer service. I'll never own another rod from Trey... and I'm far from the only one. Used to have a bunch... not going to derail the thread with it, it's ancient history, but Trey really sh$t on a lot of folks back in the day. For anyone interested, you can search back I'm sure and find all the threads about it.

Y’all sure do break a lot of rods. NO questions asked I've chopped up perfectly good rods to change model and upgrade to a different series.

I've dealt with them for about 7 years, never even been close to having a problem. Having said that, they still have some of the best rods on the market.
