I am interested in getting one of these rods. I think I want the 5'6" 5wt but am also intrigued by the 7' 3wt. I guess I am looking for any feedback on these rods, good or bad.

Thanks, those comments are what actually got me interested. Just looking for other opinions as well.
georgiared, I have the 7' 3 wt. I love it for fishing midge emergers on extremely light tippets. It's a noodle for casting, but does a wonderful job of protecting light tippets and fishing small flies. I'm a devoted fan of Dorber rods, and their customer service can 't be beat, IMHO.
How about,,, they (The Global dorbeR Group, Inc.)
(not "Dorber Global") have been a supporter of FAOL for over seven years? Gotta count for something!
JC, yep, that too!
Just browsing the site myself, looks like a fine rod for sure.

You are in Luck!!!! The Global dorbeR Group, Inc., has the following policy about ther RODS:
With the trade-in policy, try the rod of your choice for 30 days. If after that time you feel it's not quite the right one, trade it in** for the one you're really after. We really understand how difficult it is to make a purchase sight unseen. And we want you to have the equipment that best suits your fishing application.

Looking forward to getting it wrapped up and out on the water with it's older brother.

We are going to have Dorber make some blanks for us! We received some samples from Ray a couple of weeks ago and quite frankly, we're impressed. Very innovative and fishable designs. And they're made in the USA!!! Yeah!!
