GSM Outdoors can kick rocks. Crispin Powley and the corporate gang just shuttered the Dobyns Rods headquarters here in East Texas and fired everyone on NYE.

and every member of the crew there always treated us staffers, dealers, and community as a whole like family and this cannot be tolerated. The time to push back against these corporate 🤬 is now.

I will no longer be associated with this company’s new overlords as a pro staffer or as a dealer at ETX Paddlesports. You can come get whatever I have in stock at cost through the end of this week. After that they will be pulled from the shelves.

Do NOT reward predators like these with your business. And do not trust any new Dobyn’s rods that are not already in stock at your LOCAL dealers. The only reason GSM would do this is to cheapen the production costs (that means LOWER QUALITY) of what was an incredible product.

Great products and customer service, warranty protection, etc. are obviously not in the interests of their shareholders.

Today is the last day to get signed up for our first event of the season out on Welsh Reservoir!

Just a reminder that all participants must read over all the rules and sign the tournament waiver. The waiver is provided on our page under the files tab and email the signed form to [email protected]. The waiver will be valid for every event in our trail so it only has to be completed once and before the participation of your first event.

If you haven’t done so already, you will need the new IOS version of TourneyX downloaded. You will simply just need to delete the old app and download the new one to access it.

Keep an eye out for our captains meeting later tonight on our Facebook group for more information.

We are excited to finally kick off the year and looking forward to seeing everyone out there! 🎣
