An early Merry Christmas to me!!!

I received my order from Mud Hole Custom Tackle today. It contained almost all the parts to build three new rods this winter - one reel seat was backordered. I'll be building a 6'6" spinning rod on a MB783 (Medium Heavy Fast) blank and two 7' casting rods on MB843 (Medium Heavy Fast) and MB844 (Heavy Fast) blanks, all using Fuji Alconite guides. These will be my first builds using their MHX blanks, and a cursory inspection shows them to be high quality, straight and reasonably light, especially for their price point.
