The best class you will ever take!

I just finished the beginner rod building class at Mud Hole's facility in Oviedo, Florida. Everything about the 2 day course was top notch! Our instructors, Todd, Curt, Mike, Buzz and Derwood, were happy to be there teaching us the craft of building custom fishing rods. They are genuinely passionate about what they do. Thank you guys!
I was able to build a custom rod in a day - one that's better than any production rod I could purchase. I also left the class with the basic tools and supplies needed to continue building my next rod at home - this is a great value. If you have ever thought of building your own fishing rod, this class is TOTALLY worth your time and money. I am already looking forward to taking a more advanced class in the future. Thank you Mud Hole!

Great Experience

I had a great experience learning to build my first custom rod. The Mud Hole Team of instructors were extremely knowledgeable and patient. I would highly recommend anyone wishing to learn how to build a rod to sign up for this basic class.

If your just thinking of building your own fishing rods, take the class!! They teach you the foundation to get started. You get a rod, rod wrapper and dryer to take home with you. It was very informative and a fun class!
