Doomsday had a limited first 20 people buy 2 get 3 black Friday deal on their 47 Rods so I jumped on that. Like you said it wasn't a company I heard much about other than some positive reviews from a few websites. A guy on IG that I interact with has been using them and I just loved the way they looked. That old school cream and red sold me.
Since December they are the only rods I have been using because I love them so much lol. Particulurly the ML BFS rod. I paired mine up with the SLX BFS and have been going to town including pulling a nice 4.7lb on a 2" Keitech.
I also have the 7'3 MH MF that I use for chatterbaits. Haven't used it much because I am completely hooked on BFS right now.
$45 is a steal for what I consider d**n good rods.
