Tom The transition to the new website wasn't a choice we took lightly. Our previous hosting service was not longer supporting the platform that our previous site was built on, and launching a new site was a necessity. We chose to migrate to an entirely new platform, at the expense of losing the previous history knowing this would upset some customers. However we still have a record of ever

As many builders have learned, Fuji discontinued their black and polished guide frames. Mud Hole had been actively trying to purchase as much inventory this past year to stretch out our supply as long as possible. Unfortunately we began to run into "out of stock" scenarios on individual guides in certain series and have not been able to confirm their availability moving forward. The u

Hi Alex, Mud Hole still offers the entire line up of Pac-Bay products, they are available at www.mudhole.com. The SSR is a new offering from CRB and does feature a pressed stainless ring similar to the design of the Minima's however they are not Pacific Bay products or vice versa.

Most of the post here have already hit the nail on the head, just my 2c...Biggest change is texture, most cases hand is resting on the reelseat/ reel so the density change is really a non factor (to me at-least). I like the rough grain on the CFX grips, but as many have said if you prefer smoother apply a top coat.

The FAWC swooped Aluminum checks pair nicely, its an elegant option for a fly rod: . The CFX Fighting butts can be used as a fighting butt for a fly rod as well: if you prefer a bit more carbon, use a foregrip and plug the end with a rubber butt plug.

Ends Tuesday 11/8 - then they are gone for good! Lamiglas is one of the most popular rod building blanks around because they build their rods for the specific requirements and performance needed for a given fishing application.

I'd be curious to know if something was up with MHX too Phil, as it would be news to us. If you heard that MHX will be continuing to provide innovative, quality and affordable Rod Blanks for Rod Builders around the world, then I would say the rumor is true...other than that I wouldn't be able to support any claim.
