Mud Hole Advanced Rod Building Kit

Great set for getting started. Everything you need; epoxy, reamers, tools, thread, etc, etc. You can build a number of rods, and if you’re just building several a year for yourself, there’s nothing else needed. Even if you advance with your rod building this kit will always be useful and usable.

This kit is great! I was going to but the cheaper one but opted for this one because of everything it has. I just finished my first pole with it and I couldn't be happier. Here is a photo of finished guides. This kit really makes things easier on the rod builder.

Used everything in the kit and it worked great. Watched lots of videos and took my time and built my first rod. Super happy with how it turned out. Now I need to go fishing and give it a test drive.

When I received my advanced rod building kit I was a little dissipointed for two reasons. 1… the all thread spool holders were not working (threads or the knobs were messed up) when I called they sent me out a replacement right away. 2… the reamers did not come with any form of handle (I thought an “Advanced Rod Building kit" would have some kind of handle) again I called and asked if I could send back the reamers and pay the difference for a set of reamers with a handle, they said no. But they did offer me a new set at a discounted price. I said no thank you I already spent $281 dollars on the “Advanced Rod Kit and tape dispenser. Don’t get me wrong I really like my kit and my tape dispenser. It all works great together and I found the reamers work ok without a handle. The MUD HOLE group is great to work with and has always answered my questions promptly. Great company to work with,

This kit has been an awesome starter. For us overthinkers, get the kit. Buy a rod kit as well. Get a rod assembled before you buy all the extra shiny bits.
MH’s shipping UPS has been the most efficient of the retailers I have purchased from.

This will get you started. Finished 2 rods so far with this kit. 👌🏽

From conventional fishing to fly fishing to tying flies, figured the next step in my fishing journey is to build my own rod. Just received my Advanced Wrapping Kit and it felt like Christmas. Super excited to play with my new toys. Super fast delivery and awesome customer service!

When I finally decided to bite the bullet and start building my own rods this kit made it super easy. The instructional videos Mud Hole has also makes it quick and easy to learn what you are doing.

This my first Rod made a few mistakes but learned a lot. It was fun. I have ordered my next build.

This is a great kit. It came with absolutely everything I needed to get started with rod making. The only thing I would like to see improved is the thread mounts- the plastic seems a little flimsy and seems like it could be a little stronger but should be ok as long as I'm careful with it. Super happy with this purchase, and thank you Mod Hole for the excellent instructional videos to help teach this rewarding craft!

I’m new to building so bought this kit to start things off. I’ve build 4 rods so far and have to say the wrapper is a breeze to use. Also comes with everything you need. Personally the only thing I changed was I bought the extreme reamer kit separately because of the chuck attachments for the drill.

This kit has everything you will need to get started building rods. Also, Mud Hole customer service is second to none. Evan Hebert is amazing at his job. Chris Adams does a great job at the how to build custom rods in Rod Building 101. Rob Frichette in the Advantage program personally called me to introduce himself and tell me about the Advantage program. Mud Hole is a wonderful company and I look forward to doing a lot of business with them!

Thought I'd give rod building a go. Purchased this kit and the components to build my first. This kit is perfect for getting going! Everything I needed to build my first rod and start learning tricks with thread work.

Great all around kit to start! Everything you actually need. I looked on other sites and I didn’t think the price for what you got was as good as this one

Who knew that losing a custom rod would lead to me making my own. Very rewarding hobby, and I can’t wait to make my next rod! Everything to get started comes in the kit so it’s pretty easy to get started. Thanks guys! PS: cats and curing don’t mix…

Although my first rod is not complete, only needing Pro Kote thread finish, I built this spinning rod with the Advanced rod building kit. Rod building 101 book with the kit is a great teaching manual and all of the components from the kit come into play. I absolutely love this new hobby. Best purchase I could ever have made. Now I customize anything as far as my personal preference in fishing rods.
Thank you, Mudhole!!

This is all you need to build rods. I built a bunch of them before I ever ran out of epoxy and pro paste. In addition to this I bought the tape dispenser to hold my tape that is included. Then upgraded to the wire chuck for the rod dryer. I have built many high end, high performance rods with this set up. Its all you will ever need and was a great choice buying this to get started.

Mud Hole has been very helpful. I’m loving my first rod build and look forward to building many more.

Building theses rods has probably saved me 400$

This kit had everything need to build my first rod. Came out perfect. Worth every penny.
