Dobyns Warranty
Dobyns Warranty
I recently purchased a new Dobyns 704CB from someone on another forum. The rod was new with the plastic still on the cork. When I got it home and inspected the rod the blank was curved. Is this normal for the 704CB or a defect? Also I contacted Dobyns about the rod and yet to hear a response if they will replace it. Any ideas?
Re: Dobyns Warranty
Since you're not the original owner and presumably don't have the original reciept, I doubt the "lifetime" warranty would apply. But it looks like you could take advantage of the $60 no hassle deal, if the rod is defective.

Just wait for the response or give them a call at the shop. Richard has always picked up the phone when I had a question or concern about a rod and is very helpful.

Re: Dobyns Warranty
I've read before that some bend in a rod is normal. But...I'm sure Dobyns will replace it for another if the bend is not normal. I've never had to give a receipt to any company when sending in any used rod for warranty...and especially since yours is new with the wrap still on it.
Re: Dobyns Warranty
Considering the closest store that carries of this model is 2.5 hr drive from me, buying from TW or forums is my only option. I guess I will have to call them since I have not received an email. I really expected a response by now.jeb wrote:Since you're not the original owner and presumably don't have the original reciept, I doubt the "lifetime" warranty would apply.

Re: Dobyns Warranty
The one time I emailed Dobyns it was 2-3 days before I heard back. Sounds like people who call get a faster response.
