Hello, Does any one use these, I saw them on the Mud Hole catalog and thought they looked pretty neat and I saw a few on some rods this past weekend and they look really neat. I thought about using them on some upcomming builds of mine and wanted to get some of Ya'lls opinions. Thanks Scott Parsons

Why not marbleize one of your own.

Scott, I have used them. The pink swirled one and the holographic colored one. My wife chose them for her rods I built for her. Nice finish and seems durable. Good Stuff.... I would buy again.

Scott,
Nice finish, lightweight and holds up well to redfish.

I have used several - red splash and blue splash. Built for myself and others with no complaints, as a matter of fact the folks I built them for thought it was worth the extra $$$ to get that unique and different look. The finish seems very durable and looks good.

I have not marbleized any yet, but I've painted a few and am very happy with the way they turned out. It's nice to pick a color that accents or compliments the blank color.
