I just purchased a Dobyns 765cb glass rod over the phone from Ron Schmidt of Valley Sports and More. That rod lists for $229, but Ron sold it to me for $191 total, including shipping. Not only that--I mentioned I would like to get the rod in time for the West First Responders tournament on Sunday, so Ron upgraded the order to 3-day shipping for no extra charge to me. I had never heard of Ron or his store until today. What a great guy! If you're looking for quality gear at a great price with even greater customer service, check out
