Does anyone have any experience fishing with the mudhole color series blanks? I was looking at starting a build with one of the 7’6” blanks, still not certain what power I would like, MH or M probably. The price is right for them but if there is a better option similarly priced I’d spring a couple extra bucks. Thanks for any input.

Born from complete frustration, a love of fishing, and rod building I have created a thread design tool called Rod Loom. I've watched all sorts of videos and have graduated from my CRB to a rod lathe of generic origin. Have often pondered what colors would look like with various threads while shopping at my local supply and imagined what it must be like to have ALL the crayons in the box and not just what is in stock in front of me at that time.
I bring to you all the colors from Fuji and Pro Wrap so that you can make a shopping list.
you can look up the colors you already own quickly - etc.
this does not yet consider double wraps or showing the guides - but that feature may come soon. For me this is enough and so far I have been able to imagine the Dorado color scheme from the thread that I already owned.
If you build rods and find this useful let me know.
Cheers :)
I unfortunately let mold get on one of my good Sage Accel rods. Looking to fix the cork handle. Anyone have good suggestions for cleaning it off? I have currently sprayed it with a mild bleach solution and it helps but there is still some there.
absolute beginner to rod building. Im having trouble finding information on painting a simple rod I want to build. Im assuming it has to be a specific type of paint as it would have to stretch when the rod bends. Do let me know what your experiences are thank you!
I have this GLoomis NRX that I got from a friend for free as the finish was flaking in places and had a few broken guides, I’ve fixed the guides but looking for input on how to mediate the flaking.
I need to ship some rods I built for my brother in law and I was wondering if any of the carriers have better pricing. It’s been awhile since I’ve shipped any rods so I’m not up to date on how different carries treat potential “oversized” items. I have them packaged up in a 2”x7ft tube
Thanks for any help. If it’s too expensive he may just have to wait till the next time we visit and I’ll bring ’em on the plane
Hey, when boring out my end grip the end result was not a snug fit. Now 3 years later the epoxy bond failed and the grip can slide down a half inch and rotate around. Does anyone have suggestions on how to readhere the cork. Try to drip new epoxy down there? I cant remove the grip fully without ruining it based on the butt Dia. Its a big Musky rod about 6 inch cork handle.
