Hello everyone,
Well just finished building my first MHX Rod.. this is what I have.. Blank MHX SWB967-Blend 8' swim bait 15-30 lb. Pac Bay Guides Tip GPHT 10-7.5 4 GTHG-8 3 GTHG-10 1 GTHG-12 1 GTHG-16 Casting handle 21 3/8" long Madeira Thread colors 1658 Brown 1725 Gold 1726 Light Brown 1735 Yellow I put a Diamod wrap above the foregrip (pics uploaded) Now for the good stuff, as everyone knows its Bull Red season here in Texas. So I built this rod to see how well the MHX blanks will hold up to some big fish, catching them on surf rods (no challenge anymore). So I figured I would try a trout rod and see what happens. I hear the MHX blanks are great. So I am going to give one a try and see if it can handle the big ones.. What do you think? Glen I Was Born Without Gills, Therefore I Fish! Love The Wife! Live Long!

Great blank and product. Have seen that blank very powerful. Have built the one under 956 spiral wrap and very happy. Stopped 30lb striper not a problem. Great product for the $. Re: New MHX Blank

Well here is the update on the MHX rod.
went to surfside jetties to do some red fishing. Needless to say no reds, but I rig up my new rod with a 3/4 ounce gold castmaster and threw it about 100yrds. The BAM a mac hit this fish didn't stand a chance. Love this new rod. Well I am building another MHX blank now, I call it my blue candy wrap (uploaded a pic) check it out and tell me what you think.
