This is the third Dobyns rod I've purchased. All have been super light and sensitive. The workmanship and finish have been excellent on my other ones. This rod however looked liked a second. The first guide from the tip was larger than the second guide. The second guide from the reel seat had a place where the guide wrap was kind of rough. It appeared the resin or whatever was used to seal the wrap had been done rather carelessly and it had dripped when it was applied. It left a bit of a sharp place and didn't seal the winding as well as it could have. The rod is still functional. The only problems are more or less cosmetic. I was just sort of shocked that it made it through quality control, if not in China when it got to the U.S. It was really well packaged in a pvc pipe, so there was no damage done during shipping. I guess this one just slipped through the cracks.Read full review
