JROD_fishing

They are not difficult at all. There are plenty of videos on YouTube or on Mudhole.com to see how to build custom rods. As far as price I'd say anywhere between $130-$150 for you to build it yourself. If you decide you want to build them, at checkout use promo code BM10 for 10% off. If you do not find a well enough video out there, I will be more than welcome to make videos on rod building to help whomever out!

I've switched on and off from EVA and cork, but recently the grip I have come to like and WILL stick with is Winn Grips. I build my own rods so I buy there handles but you can buy tape to wrap over your cork or EVA handles on rods you already have. Winn makes handles for golf clubs and now make grips for fishing rods and WOW they are comfortable!

5 new MHX rods I built this year. All with Microwave casting guides, and Winn Grips. Thanks to Mudhole Custom Tackle for providing ALL the equipment to build my rods and MHX for making an amazing blank.

My rod lineup consist of all MHX rods that I build but as of this year I have tried other reels on my rods, okuma, lews, daiwa, and out of those 3 lews is the one I like closest to my abu's. I have used Abu Garcia reels for several years now. The Revo STX is a great reel and comes in multiple gear ratios. I have my stx's in a 8.0:1. I have 2, one on a 7'3" MH fast action MHX for worm/jig fishing, and a 6'6" MH fast action MHX for docks/tight cover. I have other abu Garcia's but my favorite so far for the money are the STX reels.
