Bingham Bing-SHX blanks

Does anyone have any feedback about the SHX line of blanks that Bingham sells? Do you know who makes them and what other blank they would be best compared to?

I have no idea, but I do know that most all these house brand blanks come from just a couple or three places. Many of them are likely to be the exact same blanks. I prefer to know who the manufacturer is so I do not use the house brands. But I hear many are excellent. So, check the specs and shop for the best bargain.

Andy,
I have built two of the 720's and have been very happy with them. You know that going with Karen she will treat you right every time! I got mine as replacements for the IMX's which I was too cheap to pay out the cash for most models. I am not sure what models you will use but I think that you will be pleasantly suprised with them.

They seem similar to the mudhole MHX from the spec and to an american tackle line. Just from the specs, I have only held the MHX so far.

Just by comparing the specs, it looks to me like.....MHX = AmTak Classic Series = BING-SHX. I have 3 of the SHX blanks to build. Initial impression: great blank for the $.

I'd bet my next paycheck that SHX from Bingham are not the same as the MHX from Mudhole.

I ordered a MHX kit, looks great. Ordered another, plus a blank to build on. Like the registration/warrenty program. Very simple program. Customers will like this also. Nice quality fair priced kit package. Cant wait to build the rods. We plan to sell a couple. i think they will be well recieved.
