We were told Rice is getting out of the business of supplying thread to rod builders. Mud Hole has alot Rice thread remaining, check out: Gudebrod is NOT getting out of the rod building thread business. But we did hear they will be dropping some of the less popular colors and or spool sizes in a few lines. We would call this a consolidation on their product line. Gudebrod has added MANY

Of all the wrappers we sell - Flex Coat, American Tackle, Gudebrod, Mud Hole, Renzetti and Sully - the American Tackle wrapper out sells all others 10 to 1. Bang for the buck it can't be beat for the beginning rod builder. As beginners grow in this hobby we agree - purchase a separate wood lathe for turning cork & EVA and if your building hundreds for rods a year get the Renzetti. But for

The original EVA offered by Bollard is no longer available. IMHO the idea that EVA (Ethylene Vinyle Acetate) is a custom blended for custom rod builders is a stretch. The quantities required to custom blend EVA, on a special order basis, for custom rod builders (no OEM's use colored EVA in any quantities) and import it into the USA are just not available in the rod building industry.

I am not ashamed to say Mr. Well's order is with Mud Hole Tackle. His return will be handled as stated in our return policy stated in our printed catalog and online. This policy states we reserve the right to change a 10% restocking fee. It does not say we will, but that we may. Mr. Well’s was told on the phone of the 10% fee and the email copy of the RMA he received indicated this as well.
