Anyone ever done it before? Was it worth it? I have a fury I dont mind getting rid of and getting an upgraded rod to use for worming
Wondering wether I should do it or just sell the rod locally on the cheap? Im thinking since the fury is a low end rod....and shipping is gonna be $20-30 at my cost, its prolly not gonna be worth it. Let me know if anyones done it...or if its one of those things thats just offered and no one really does lol
Didn’t know Dobyn’s did a trade up program, I have a basically new 765Flip I was just never that fond of, might have to check into this.

So I called and they wouldnt give me a number understandably. guy said he had to have it in his shop to give a number. I asked him....just to get an answer..."what do you think would be worst case scenario." Told me $30 credit for my colt with broken guides, and $40 for the fury....which I told him was in good shap (it is, hardly used it). It kinda seemed like one of those "shut up already" answers since he kept saying I have to send in when I tried getting answers.Originally Posted by XingEyeballs
If they give you that low, which is about 33% of retail (website says 60-80% of retail value) and then factoring in the shipping i have to pay....its not worth it at all. So is the guy that told me that 33% range number right...or do they give you 60-80% like the site says on nonbroken rods? My fury is in really good shape, and the one I was kinda banking on...but yea for $40 I can sell it locally for a tiny bit more more and not pay to ship. So hoping someone has had an actual experience using it.
Id do it for 60% of value just to not have to hassle....but 33% is a lot less than 60%. so wondering what its really like.
I have been wondering this also. I have a champion xp 734, and champion extreme 745 I was thinking of sending in. I was told they couldnt give me an exact value without looking at it, makes sense, but said they generally give the higher percentage if they’re in good condition, which both my rods are. I was going to send them in this week but now will wait to see if people have experience with this.
Wonder what places do with used rods?
Colt and fury are not worth it since they are cheap from the get go.

Dobyns resells them on their website, if you look under “store” section you can buy rods that have been traded in or returned for whatever reason.
Might be worth it with your rods! DO IT!!!! lol be the BBC test pilot!
thats what I got to thinking! I still think even with the higher end rods youll get more money selling locally on craigslist or something like that. I wouldnt mind seeing someone give it a try tho....DO IT JAYJ! LOL
I actually picked Dobyns because I liked their warranty and upgrade program. I know the fury is on the cheaper end...but 1/3 of the retail value is tough to accept, especially since the rods in great shape and hardly used because i dont flip much. Ive been vernturing out to other makers but was planning to buy a champion...ill prolly go with a Phenix instead since they got a good warranty too. Guy was kinda....well he wasnt very nice on the phone discussing this. I know they cant say cuz they need to inspect the rod....but he just refused to answer and when he finally did wasnt very cool about it! im prolly just being sensitive lol
Send them to the same place that got all the “Rams super bowl champion” t shirts last year
africa?
In my opinion any trade-in program is not worth it.
