As stated in a previous post, sensitivity is measured by a matter of opinion. I personally "Feel" that the newly introduced, MHX Elite X Rod Blanks are as sensitive as any rod on the market. You can find them here -- -- When you scroll to the bottom of the page, there is a box in the lower right corner to click on for page 2. Thank You

123. Re: Decals
It is best when using regular Pro Kote, to allow the finish to sit for 10 to 15 minutes for applying it to a decal. When Pro Kote is first mixed, it is very thin and will tend to migrate under a decal and lift it. When it sits for a bit, it will thicken just enough to not migrate under the decal. Thank You

Not sure if you do this or not, but if you will pour your mixture on to a flat surface after mixing and allow the finish to spread out, it will extend your working time versus the mixture staying in the confined area of the mixing cup. Bubbles also release easier.

The silicone checks will stretch some. They will not stretch as much as the vinyl or rubber type checks.

Hello All -- I assume we, Mud Hole Custom Tackle are the sponsor/supplier you are mentioning for the CRB Colored Silicone Winding Checks. We have used both Pro Paste and Pro Glue for epoxing and installing the silicon checks to the rod blank, with good results. Also, as a addition for securing them, it would never hurt to wrap thread just in front of the check. I would not suggest trying to c

The SWB956-Blend-MHX blank is longer than your request, but can be cut down from the butt end by 3 to 4 inches. Even though it was designed for swim baits, it is perfect for A-Rigs. I will assure you that a mod-fast rod is way better for casting and retrieving the A-Rig, than a fast tip rod. To cast a A-Rig, it needs to be more of a lob type cast.

136. Re: build charges
Just remember that rods can break and kids are more apt to break them. Might want to make sure you add plenty of money on the front end to take care of re-work for breakages issues. I surely would have a discussion about warranties, breakage and the cost incurred of re-working a rod, if you do not add anything on the front end.

Joshua, I am sorry, but those two blank models will not handle the pressure that seems to be applied to those rod blanks. The CS722-MHX a medium powered rod is only rated for 6 to 12 lb line and the CS723-MHX a med hvy powered rod is only rated for 8 to 12 lb line. It was listed in the original post that 50 lb braid was used in extremely thick grass, pads and stumps with the drag cranked com

The Bubble Buster we carried at Mud Hole Custom Tackle was a liquid that you could spray on thread finish to bust the bubbles, not the plastic bottle with a wick, that you use for flaming and heating finish. Two different products.

Hello John -- Yes, MHX has dis-continued the Panfish/Crappie, as we a re-designing the series. The series will be available again soon. We do have other options available at this time, but they will not be at the retail price of $28.50, as was the PF1082ML-MHX. Not sure the price of the blank was considered in other posts. Here is a couple of links to other blank options that are available at

Just remember when using a aluminum butt, the outside diameter of the butt of the rod blank has to match the inner diameter of the ferrule of the aluminum butt.

Chris did mentioned that it was personal preference. So many aspects of custom rod building are just that. There is not a right or wrong. What works for one person, may not work for the other. Experiment and Test!!

The P842-2 has just a bit more power in the mid and butt, than a 7' MLF St Croix. The tip flex is similar.
