I also think they are great for the $$. I built up a couple pink rods for my wife. Great finish on them. Feel nice and light. I don't think you'd go wrong with those.

I have built on them and like others have said are very good. Plan on using again. However, check out Swampland's clearance blanks. Same price range but I would rate them just slightly better. May have what you are looking for.

Good Stuff!! I've built up a few and like them, especially for the price! The pink is a softer pink, the purple is more of a lilac/lavender color.

The pics match the color of the pink and purple pretty dang well!

I have built 5 of them for family. My wife has a pink 6' light that she really loves. In late October she put 3 walleyes in the livewell on her first vertical jig trip with it.

I did a 7' blue for my son with Gudebrod Blue Dun thread with CP and silver Alconites. It is very sharp!

Very nice blanks, and at that price they are a very good value! I have 4 or 5 in the shop now that will also be used for gifts.

I don't think you'll seeor hear anything negative about them. They are good quality blanks for the money involved. I've built 3 so far, with a 4th waiting, with no problems. I doubt that MudHole would put their name on something that has been proven to have issues. MH .02
