Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

Well yesterday I got what was suppose to be my light froggin rod delivered. As soon as I cut away the protective bubble wrap from the tip I heard a tink tink tink on the floor. Well the ceramic tip guide insert fell to the floor. I was able to find it and pop it back in (so I thought) but it came loose again. This time I went to glue it back in and guess what...I lost it again. Never even got the chance to thread my line through the rod. This seems to be a pattern of luck with me when it come to mail order rods. I need to learn my lesson huh?

Depending on how funk Airrus acts about replacing it I have started looking at Dobyns line of rods. Specifically their Savvy Micro Guide rods. What do you guys think about Dobyns Savvy rods? I am looking at the 734C to throw some light Kermits. TW is willing to refund my purchase since apparently I bought the last Airrus Co-Matrix in their warehouse and I use the funds to buy a Dobyns or something else.

I might be unlucky, and I admit I can be hard hard on equipment... But I am just putting it out there!

I have 5 dobyns now and I can say that I am missing one insert to a guide but that was a user error and the rod hasnt fished any different since. Overall ive beaten up on my rods and put em through the ringer and those dobyns fish the same as i just pulled it out of a tackle warehouse shipment.
