Does anyone have the weight of this reel seat in sz 16 and 18?
Forum: rodboard

Its a Mudhole MHX 843. Split rear grip is 8.5" long plus the reel seat. It will be mostly used for plastics and small jigs.

So Ive done a few rods with all on top micros using size 4 fujis. Now I want to try my hand at a micro spiral. When using the micros all on top Ive been pushing out the butt guide to between 22-24 inches from the reel spool center. is this common to do using the micro spiral as well? I was going through some old notes i had on the forhan spiral and I think its the way to go with micros. But a

When I pulled the guide off, the bare threads matched up almost perfect with gudebrod dark green. After finish not so much, I wonder if the rest of the guides are just discolored from age and uv exposure?
Forum: rodboard

Anyone know what color thread was used on the G Loomis MossyBack Rods? Its a green color and nothing I have seems to match up quite right. Thanks for the help

I noticed that there are some new MHX blanks listed in the catalog. I didnt see these online... Are they available yet?
Forum: rodboard

Nevermind, got a call back from Bob at Mudhole and they will have them back in stock sooner then originally thought.

It would help for sure for future reference! But for this situation Im kind of in a rush and dont have much time to play around and experiment with with learning a new process.

These are the ones I need... I need 3 12" pieces, if anyone has some or knows where I can get some in a hurry please let me know.

Have a question on the excise tax. I know some people list it separate on the invoice and some hide it in the rod cost. If you hide it in the rod cost aren't you making the customer pay a higher sales tax as well, because the amount is included with the product? My thought was if you list it separate you shouldn't have to pay a sales tax on the extra amount. I know its not a huge differ

Does anyone have the OD of the hood for a Fuji sz 22 spinning reel seat?
Forum: rodboard

When doing a split seat how long of a threaded barrel do most of you use? I'd like to make it as short as I can, but I'm worried about using a different reel in the future and cutting it too short

I was looking to get a average length of the foot of a low profile baitcaster. All I have in my shop is Abu Revos and they are all about 2.5". Anyone mind measuring a Shimano or a Daiwa for me.

Rick, Thanks for the input! Does it have a action similar to a trolling rod? I think it might fit the bill I'm looking for. Thanks Again!

Does anyone have any experience with this blank? Looking for a 8' 1 pc glass rods that flexes into the blank and is pretty "whippy" It will be used for drift fishing for channel catfish.
Forum: rodboard

thanks guys. Ive used the mudhole e glass in 7 ft and like those. I was looking for something more along the lines of a trolling rod. I wish they made a Batson RDR in a 8ft that wasnt telescopic :(
Forum: rodboard

Im looking for a 1 piece fiberglass blank to be use for drift fishing for channel cats. Customer will be using about 1-1.5 oz total bait/lead weight and 25lbs mono. the blank needs to have a moderate action and hopeful is around the $40.00 range. Anyone have any ideas?
Forum: rodboard

Sounds to me that fuji has a winner! What do you think the chances are that these wind up on the production micro rods? Fuji had to be thinking that when they released them. For these big rod companies they need something that is going to hold up and help prevent failures. They wont make it in the micro business if guides are popping off rods, they would lose their butts in the warranty depar

yes. that is my exact thought

Just like the title says. If as a bass fisherman you could only have 5 rods on your boat what would they be? For me it would be.... 1. 6'6" - 7' Spinning finesse XF action 2. 7'6" H power for flipping 3. 7' M or MH "Worm Rod" 4. 6'6" - 7' XF M power "spinner bait rod" 5. 7' MH "crank bait rod"

Im looking for a Batson XST1562F blank. Cant seem to find anyone who has it listed. Does anyone have this blank in stock?
Forum: rodboard

I was looking for what people thought about the two seats. I have used the aero before and like it alot. My only complaint is that its only a sz 16 and seems small for some applications. How does the NPS compare as far as comfort and weight?
Forum: rodboard

Not to hijack, but has anyone ever had a issue with the hot glue melt and tips coming loose or twisting when a rod is left in a hot car or sitting on a boat deck all day in the sun?
Forum: rodboard

thanks guys.... i dont want to make it a exact fit, but in my opinion with no foregrip on the rod it looks silly if you leave the seat the length it comes
