Bummer, but happy retirement hope the rods stay the same and keep the same policies. The customer service, rod performance, and return/replacement policy is what keeps me buying Dobyns.
Congratulations to Gary and the Dobyns family. It really sounds like a win-win for Dobyns! He sure does make Texas sound like a place i need to move to 😂 Chicago's taxes are killing me. I have only had great experiences with my Dobyn's rods and will trust them until proven otherwise. GSM is an interesting conglomerate, where they appear to allow the companies to run as they have been, but provide the capital, marketing, and distribution to grow the brand.
I sure love them Dobyns rods. I sure hope GSM doesn’t mess it up. They usually change a bunch of stuff when they buy companies out. Hopefully this isn’t the case this time.
Been fishing with dobyns since I was 14. I saved up and bought a savvy still have it, still my best spinner bait rod. I Now 10 years later I’ve got all xtasys and dxs
About time for me to swing by the warehouse again and check in with the guys. My wife would be glad to help remove some of those catfish. I’m searching for monster bass but she loves catching cat.
Heard Dobyns quality took a dive. I know a diehard Dobyns guy that gets a new set annually and is having issues this year that he hasn’t had prior. Just saying
This is simply not true. The quality is exactly the same, with the same materials, same factories, and same people. All the rods GSM is selling are from inventory I had on hand.
@garydobyns9531 Going to miss you Mr Gary, I've got most of my fish on my DC and Kaden, and I've only had them a little over a year. Sure appreciate you and all the wonderful folks at Sulpher Springs. Dobyns truly made me feel like I was family, regardless of my limited experience. Blessings to you.

I love Dobyns rods I just pray GSM doesn’t mess up a good product trying to cut costs.
This aged like milk seeing as how the scumbags at GSM just fired the entire Dobyns staff without warning. I'll never buy another Dobyns rod
@@norcal06warrior pretty brutal news

Lookin’ at some younger photos, I’m betting played some football in his younger years. Interview, again, makes me consider making a rod change.
Now pool players make more than pro fisherman, and they have a 200 or 300 investment for a pool cue.
