Mud Hole's white blanks
Posted by: Buzz Butters (---.ripon.k12.wi.us)

Just wanted to post a public "thank you" to Mud Hole for their series of white blanks. From my research they come in 16 different models. I have been building on 7 different models. They are very popular with my customers. Even the 'meat hunters" that could care less about thread colors are choosing the white blanks and picking colors that really stand out on the blanks. The finish is super hard and for those of us that wrap customs the white blank opens up a whole new set of color combination for guide and decorative wraps.

Please consider expanding the models that you now offer in white.

Thank You for your very nice comments of the White MHX Rod Blanks. We will be glad to entertain suggestions of blank models. There is no way possible to offer the white models in every MHX model, as each and every MHX customer has there very own personal preferences, but we enjoy hearing from all of you about product additions. So, if you want blanks added, shoot me a e-mail with suggestions, bobm@mudhole.com. We will compile a list of the models that are requested and evaluate from there. Thank You in advance for all suggestions. We appreciate our MHX customers!! Thank You

Bob,

The new DR845 would seem like a logical choice (and the 1024). Trolling blanks are natural candidates for white.

Has anybody posted any of their finished white fly rod blanks? I'd like to see how they look. The white blanks are graphite, too?

Bruce -- The blanks are graphite with a very nice, white, painted exterior finish that has a clear gloss over the white.

Todd, all I'm seeing is the light saltwater blanks. I'd love to take a look if you have a link.

Nathan, I'm not on facebook. Do you think you could post a photo here? I'm a Steeler fan and I'd love to see it and maybe build myself one.
